VW Scirocco Factory Airbag Suspension?! - Blade3562 - 2012-12-16 14:44 My dad said back in the day when he and his brother were buying and selling cars for fun, they came across a VW Scirocco with airbags for suspension vs coilovers. I find this hard to believe. Has anyone else ever heard of this blasphemy?! RE: VW Scirocco Factory Airbag Suspension?! - Roba - 2012-12-16 17:12 Well some luxury cars have this, I thought Mercedes S-class has it as well.. Not really heard much about that, more than that trucks and buses have this RE: VW Scirocco Factory Airbag Suspension?! - Audiojack - 2012-12-16 17:17 I doubt it was stock. There are aftermarket air suspensions for them though. RE: VW Scirocco Factory Airbag Suspension?! - Blade3562 - 2012-12-16 17:25 I pictured a big rig trailer instantly, then I pictured air bags to lower, but airbags to corner seems genius! More pressure, harder compressions stiffer and better handling! I agree it's aftermarket but would like to find out more! I love old school tuning! ITBs for the win!

Most luxury cars and 4x4s... I believe it was first attempted before World War 2, but I might be wrong. RE: VW Scirocco Factory Airbag Suspension?! - Audiojack - 2012-12-17 14:50 And then there is the hydropneumatic suspension which Citroën pioneered in the 1950's. Sort of in the same class as air bags. RE: VW Scirocco Factory Airbag Suspension?! - Johan. - 2012-12-17 17:50 ^ And so comfortable it is... Till it breaks, ofcourse.
