post up some info/pics with how you did it

I'm thinking about using some parts I have laying around and bagging the C43- probably too much work for this winter, but maybe soon enough.

yeah- guess you don't know me, lol. I've got a lot of bag parts laying around.

I've just never worked on adjustable suspension/bagged anything but an american truck or suv.

Figured a few people on here probably had some kind of air suspension on vws and wanted to look at some pics of different ways they had done it.

Only a few on here. The R32, a 20thAE and an old Beetle - that I know of.

You do it, and then tell us how it is done! This should be cool!

I"m not sure I want to make the sacrifices required for it, but it's super tempting right now (well more like in 6 months when I finish the stuff I've already started).

I guess I'm sort of undecided what route I'd want to take with it in some ways- in order to keep the ride quality/traction etc. as good as possible.

I did talk to a friend who works for air ride tech a bit about it a couple years ago at slamology, but nothing came out of it at that point (I did soem air shocks for that summer though, lol... SUPER cheap and crappy way for me to fit the huge tires on 19s I was trying to run two years ago)
