VB Air Suspension - Let's Discuss...

I believe they are for adjusting the ride height, I have sent them over to you to look at :thumbsup:
Cheers, my remote is different to the one on the instructions. I have a booklet somewhere that shows a similar procedure using my type of handset.:thumbsup:
 
If anyone is interested, I have the instructions for you to reprogram the ASCU via the hand controller which were sent to me by A & E Leisure. Not actually tried it as I no longer have the vehicle with it on.
Yes please that would be great

If these instructions are still available, could you PM please.
 
Hi, can anyone with VB check measurements from middle of the hub to the front fender in sport mode, i have b14 fitted with abt front on t32 4motion set to highest position and i was wonder if vb in sport mode will be about the same high.
 
Hi @Eli1264,

would be interested on hearing your thoughts. Had a drive in a t28 with vb air, not bad - but had a slight roll, and wondered how this was with regards to the T32 And it having a better arbs...

thx.
cz.
Body roll was still present as VB does not respond quick enough. The only benefit and selling point of VB is the self levelling function. The kit it self sits 20mm below standard ride height on “sport” mode which really isn’t a sport mode. IMO I think it’s far to much money for what is is, which is why I have gone down the coil over route again. If you do go down the VB route make sure you find a decent fitter and what your return policy is as they cut the factory bump stops off. A&E leisure wanted £1300 to remove the kit but said they would reduce it to £700 as a gesture of good will even though they f**ked mine up.

With so much going on - I forgot all about that!

Thanks for reminder. I need to have a test drive in a T32 with VB fitted to see what I think. I like the standard VW setup and would not like to go backwards from that....

Not too worried about the stance - i prefer a rugged as opposed to a slammed down look. My main concern is to know how the drive and roll compares to a normal T6 LWB 4M (which i am very happy with). Is it better, worse or the same - if the same then cool. if worse then maybe its not for me. My T6 is a Campervan just for some background.

Cheers
 
a bit worse to be honest
the highering and lowering is great for me and what i want but the ride ? mmmmmm im not keen
Sport seems to lower to a sensible hight but doesn,t ride like sport its a bit choppy if you know what i mean

I'd say the ride is smoother than stock but maybe slightly underdamped? Agree on the 'sport' setting though, that's not fun! You don't buy VB for the ride though, you buy it for the automatic adjustment to load differences and the auto-levelling feature.
 
I've had quite a chat with Steve @CRS Performance about air systems and he told me that the main air manufacturers use the same shocks that everyone spends money taking off their vans as they're not up to the job! He's not a fan (although I did read somewhere that CRS are actually investigating development of their own air system - now that could be worth a look! I bet that wouldn't use crap shocks! He's convinced me to not bother with air, and @Eli1264 and @T6 dork obviously haven't had good experiences. Koni Sport and H&R for me!

This seems somewhat inconsistent with Steve’s post here?
