CARGRAPHIC Launches their Fully Reworked AirLift Evolution System

When CARGRAPHIC launched its first patented front axle system, the original AirLift in 2008, the positive feedback was overwhelming. World Rally Champion Walter Röhrl tested the system on the Hockenheim track and was impressed with its handling ability and everyday driving usability. CARGRAPHIC is now proud to present their new fully reworked AirLift Evolution System, 100% developed and made in Germany. Be sure to take a browse through our entire collection of CARGRAPHIC parts here.

The CARGRAPHIC AirLift system was originally developed for the 997 Porsche series and will be provided in combination with a BILSTEIN B16 suspension kit. However, the product range is still expanding with further vehicles from various manufactures joining the ranks of its new product generation.

Overcoming obstacles on the road like speed bumps or ramps is alleviated with this airlift system. This is because the system allows the front of the vehicle to be lifted up to 55mm at the wheel (72mm at the front spoiler lip) to provide additional road clearance. The air bellow unit will be fitted underneath the suspension camber plate, and does not affect the choice of wheel and tire combinations.

The AirLift System is Available in 2 Versions:

– As complete kit including BILSTEIN B16 suspension

– As an upgrade kit for factory or aftermarket coilover suspensions.

Features/Advantages: 

– No reduction in boot space

– Light weight: approx 3kg / 6.6lbs

– No limitations to the driving performance.

– Short assembly time: approx 3hrs

– System uses an onboard Air Compressor; no hydraulic fluid inside car

– Max. air uplift requires 15 seconds, increasing the components longevity

– System works up to 30mph / 50km/h there after automatic lowering proceeds

– Control is either with a remote or a built-in switch

– TÃœV Parts Certificate

RENNtech"s V3 Digital Suspension Lowering Module for Mercedes

The RENNtech V3 Digital Lowering Module (DLM) is designed to work with all available Mercedes Airmatic or ABC (hydraulic) suspensions. The unit allows its user to have full control over all four corners of the vehicle’s suspension and adjust it in 1mm increments. Check out the video below to see the installation process and controls of the RENNtech V3 DLM.

The DLM requires no splicing or soldering to the factory wiring harness. The RENNtech harness utilizes the factory pins to allow a convenient and completely reversible installation. The unit also supports speed-dependant lowering that allows the vehicle to return to its factory ride-height at a pre-set speed. This process removes the need for the vehicle to be aligned after its been lowered. The user can maintain the factory longevity and still have the lowered look at low speeds.

All RENNtech DLMs are adjustable via USB using either Windows or Android OS. The software has three locations where the user can store pre-configured suspension setups for quick and effortless changes.

Note: On the SL 550 (R231) the ABC suspension system is optional equipment from the factory. The ABC suspension system is required for the digital lowering module (DLM).

RENNtech VAG V3.5 DLM Module Specifications:

• Current Consumption: 30mA (60mA while plugged in to PC/Tablet)


• Adjustment increments: 1mm


• Maximum Lowering: Limited only by vehicle


• Adjustment Methods: PC or Android (Tablet)


• Size: 53mm x 73mm x 24mm


• Weight: 1.2oz

New Tanabe GF210 Springs for the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata (ND)

When you think of high quality suspension products, the company Tanabe should surely come to mind. Tanabe springs are among the strongest springs available for automotive us. Their springs are created using some of the most advanced methods and machinery out there in the world today. Tanabe is one of the only manufacturers who have obtained the world quality manufacturing certification ISO9001.

The GF210 coil spring is geared toward maximum performance without compromising daily drivability. A subtle drop provides an aggressive stance, while the higher spring rates provide extraordinary handling and vehicle stability traits. Once installed, these springs provide a very noticeable gain in performance. The GF210 is well-mated with a performance shock upgrade to extract the full potential of the coil spring. However, these springs will also work with factory equipment. Sustec 210 Technology is a series of manufacturing methods developed in order to create a stronger, thinner and more lightweight spring using only high tensile steel, without adding additional elements that could affect quality, durability or affordability. The numerical value “210” stands for 2100n/m of tensile strength, which is the highest strength ever achieved in a coil spring!

Tanabe has just announced the release of their new Sustec GF210 lowering springs for the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata (ND). They are now accepting orders for these brand-new springs; the first shipment arrives on May 23, 2016. Check out the before and after images below highlighting the incredible difference these springs make. You can also browse all Tanabe products here.

Dinan Spring Set and Handling Kit for the BMW F30 340i (RWD)

Suspension systems should not only transform the stance of a vehicle, but also maintain ride quality and improve upon handling. That is exactly what Dinan suspension systems are well known for. This goal is accomplished by pairing springs sets with bump stops and/or spring perches to maintain suspension travel, resulting in a smooth ride while also improving mechanical grip and handling.

Experience the Dinan difference with this suspension combination on your BMW today! Be sure to check to see all of Vivid Racing’s Dinan performance parts here. 

Dinan Performance Spring set for BMW F30 340i (RWD)

Dinan’s Performance Spring set for the F30 340i (non xDrive) provides greater control over body roll by virtue of carefully calibrated spring rates. Additionally, Dinan lowers the 340i by a full 1″ in front and 1″ in the rear for improved suspension geometry and an even more aggressive stance. The Dinan springs are CNC wound with high tensile chrome silicon wire and shot peened for stress relief to last the life of the car. The 25% increase in stiffness in front and 34% increase in the rear will reduce the rear suspension compression under acceleration and front suspension compression (or dive) under braking, giving your car a more controlled feel. The Dinan performance springs will also provide a noticeable improvement in grip, for high speed driving situations that will inspire confidence in your car’s capabilities. The reduced body roll makes the steering more responsive to driver input and will be noticed at speeds as low as 20 mph, up to the top speed of the vehicle.

Benefits of the Dinan Performance Spring Set for the F30 340i (non xDrive):

•  25% increase in spring stiffness in front, 34% increase in the rear.


• Lowers the vehicle 1″ in front and 1″ in the rear


• Preset to prevent spring sag


• Compatible with both conventional and factory electronic shocks

Dinan Supplemental Ride Quality & Handling Kit for BMW F30 340i (RWD)

This additional kit includes tuned, progressive rate bump stops that maximize suspension travel on the lowered car for improved handling capabilities and ride quality when compared to just a spring set. By allowing for full compression travel within the spring the possibility of a sudden “bottoming out” is negated, a common unwanted side effect when lowering a vehicle.  Bump stops also have the added benefit of optimizing the spring rate rewarding those that use them with added mechanical grip and cornering power. Simply put, the Dinan supplemental ride quality and handling kits amplify performance and comfort when paired with performance spring sets.

Porsche 996 Carrera with Adjustable Ksport Coilover Kit

Ksport Kontrol Pro Fully Adjustable Coilover Kits provide the ultimate in suspension technology for your street or track car. 36 levels of damping adjustment allow you to fine tune the ride to your handling and comfort needs. The damping adjusts compression and rebound simultaneously for ease of adjustment. Pillow ball top mounts in the front allow you to maintain vehicle manufacturer suspension geometry design. The pillow ball top mounts also allow you a more direct feel for solid driver response. With the mounts and most pieces of the coilover being designed for 6061 billet aluminum, the kit is lightweight, durable, and rust resistant. The steel shock body is electroplated with zinc to resist rust and the elements. The valving of each set is matched to the springs installed for unmatched ride quality and reliability.

Recently, a customer of ours had purchased and installed a Ksport coilover kit on his Porsche 996 Carrera. Rafael got back to us with a review on the product saying, “Great product, great communication.” Due to its popularity, the part took a little while to reach him, but Rafael tell us that he is satisfied overall and gave it five stars. Check out the images he sent us below of his Porsche with its new suspension.
