Description
TA Technix kits are perfect for dropping your Passat right to the ground, offering a smooth, low ride. Your Passat’s handling will be maintained, while also allowing you to adjust the ride height at will and while driving. This means you can raise your vehicle a few inches to avoid obstacles, with a comparable ride quality to any other performance upgrade.
If you are looking for a kit to temporarily raise your ride more than a few inches from its lowest height, you may find that other kits we offer are more suitable for you. TA Technix kits, while excellent for lowering a vehicle, do not offer adjustment of shock body length or shock absorber damping. If you would like a kit to raise your ride higher than the TA Technix can, please feel free to use our vehicle finder to find alternative kits, or call/email us.
Our TA Technix kits offer fantastic value for money, providing quality German engineering at a reasonable price. The kits are also incredibly simple to fit, so any local garage should be able to install the system for you, or you may even be able to fit it yourself!
You can also choose to include an air management system of your choosing. This allows you to get the very best from your air and adjust your ride height while on the move. See the Options tab for more info.
Last but not least, each TA Technix kit from AirRide, with air management, also includes a VIAIR 444C compressor or equivalent. The compressor is integral to the smooth running of your air suspension and the 444C allows you to run your system as much as you want at high pressures. It is compact too, so is easily stored on any Passat.
Here’s exactly what you get in your kit:
- Two front Passat performance air struts
- Two rear Passat performance air struts
- Four air bags, one for each corner (built into struts)
- Necessary brackets, bolts and fittings to install the system
You can also add an air management system if you wish. To get the most from an TA Technix kit a control system is recommended. With a management system you also get:
- An air tank, if needed
- Viair 444C compressor or equivalent
If your system needs are not met or if you have questions, please don’t hesitate to email or call us on 0800 772 0315.
About TA Technix
TA Technix are a car-tuning specialist with two decades of experience in air suspension. They are based in Wustermark, a small town near Berlin.
The German company manufacture a whole host of bolt-on kits made specifically for cars. A TA Technix kit is perfect for anyone looking for great air suspension on a budget, but despite being our cheapest range of kits they are still super reliable – after all, you can’t beat German engineering!
Options
Car kits can be supplied with or without air management, although going without isn’t advisable if you have air on all four corners of your vehicle.
Air management allows you to get the very best from your kit at all times. It allows the ride height to be adjusted for road, weather and load conditions, while also giving you a street-skimming stance when the time is right.
We have four main management options for cars at AirRide. Read on to find out more:
No compressor, no tank
You can have a car kit with no air management system, but this is not recommended. With this option you will receive the air bags, brackets and struts required for a basic air suspension system, but no compressor or tank, as without some form of control system the compressor and tank would not be able to function correctly.
Manual Paddle Control (MPC)
MPC is controlled by four buttons, one for each air bag. These buttons act like electric-window switches, meaning you can either raise or lower the amount of pressure in each air bag by pressing up and down on each switch. The switches will normally fit somewhere on your dashboard.
MPC comes with an aluminium, 100% duty cycle compressor with up to 200 PSI and an air tank, so you can adjust your ride height whenever you wish (as long as it’s safe). It also comes with twin gauges and a tank gauge.
Solenoid control kit
Solenoid kits are controlled in the same way as an MPC kit, with four electric window-style buttons. However, solenoids act much faster than manual controls.
You can get either standard or advanced solenoids from AirRide. Advanced solenoids run much faster than the standard ones and can be installed a lot easier, as the come in blocks of two, rather than one.
Our solenoid kit comes with a 100% duty cycle compressor and tank for instant adjustment, as well as twin gauges and a tank gauge.
Digital computer system
The Air Lift 3P computer system electronically controls the amount of pressure in each air bag. This can be controlled either with a wired controller or a phone app. You can also set up to five pre-set heights, meaning you can slam or raise your car with just a single touch. The computer will also automatically alter your height to allow for road conditions. This is also the easiest system to install, meaning you’ll save money on installation, as compared to the MPC kit or solenoid kits.
The computer system also comes with an aluminium 100% duty cycle compressor with up to 200 PSI and an air tank, allowing for constant adjustment.
Other options
If you would prefer an air management system other to those listed, please feel free to call or e-mail us. We are happy to discuss your personal requirements and make sure you get the management system that is right for you.
Fitment
Although these kits are specifically for the Passat , we supply TA Technix kits for many other vehicles. To find a TA Technix kit for your car, select ‘TA Technix’ and then the relevant page for your car from the ‘Shop’ section above or use the search function to the right.
If we don’t provide a kit for your specific car, we can still provide air suspension for most vehicles. Please feel free to call us on 0800 772 0315 or email us to discuss options for your Passat or other vehicle.
One of the main features of TA Technix is that they are bolt-on kits. This means that your local garage should be able to fit the kit without much difficulty. Alternatively, give us a call (0800 772 0315) and we can arrange the installation on your behalf. We are also happy to talk you or your garage through the installation process.
