rear vw airstruts

[DVS1]

Hey,
I had a few questions on the rear vw airstruts. First are they completely bolt on? How do you adjust the valves on the back airstruts is there just a knob on the top or bottom or do you have to pull a wheel and half disable the bag to adjust? Will I be able to put aim airstruts up front and have yours in the back w/ no problems?.

It actually not a strut, just a conventional air spring with some billet upper and lower mounts. The shock is external.

is it bolt in?

[darren@ridetech.com]

Yes.

[DVS1]

any modifications need to be made for them to clear the shock or get in the way of anything like that?

[darren@ridetech.com]

Nope. Bolt in.

[DVS1]

I' m assuming if I install the back bags I have to get new shocks for the back right?

[darren@ridetech.com]

No you can use the factory ones.

What year VW are you talking about? On the 99-newer, it will just be the bag, but up to 98, the shock and spring are together, so it would require something different.

My vw is a 2002 gti, I will probably still replace the rear shocks because I have heard the factory shocks can wear out quickly with a lowered car. I mine as well and save the trouble later on. Thanks for the info. I really wanna get your front vw air struts as well, but I know they don' t come out until the summer. I don' t know if I can wait that long.
