Video: Cargraphic Airlift Kit Installed @ SharkWerks
YouTube - Cargraphic airlift kit on Porsche 997 Twin Turbo @ SharkWerks
Hey fellas here's a demo video showing the Cargraphic Air-lift kit that we installed on a 2009 997TT (works on all 997 & 996 - soon 987 too) based cars with Bilstein coilovers or GT cars with factory coil overs) with a Bilstein PASM coil over kit. It was set pretty low and previously made for a rather difficult approach angle when dealing with driveways. As you can see it's a nice aid for those of you with lowered cars that keep scraping/trashing your front lips 
For those of you interested contact either Dan/myself or our friends at RoadSportSupply for pricing and options.

PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
|
 |
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.

Re: Video: Cargraphic Airlift Kit Installed @ SharkWerks
Lets say we were to add a small compressor tank to the kit....would it be able to inflate quicker?

Heh... you could overclock it that way or actually hook it up to a more expensive/quick compressor

Re: Video: Cargraphic Airlift Kit Installed @ SharkWerks
how come it took a full 2 minutes and 40 seconds to show us that the car was raised in 15 seconds. I'm not waiting 15 seconds for my car to raise...I'll drive on an angle and attach some good old fashion Jeep skid pads

Well we were just having some fun with it at the same time so I'm sorry for the extra 2 minutes and 25 seconds
This one is actually a lot faster...
For some of the cars with super low ride heights and expensive TechArt front ends it's becoming a popular item to help people get in and out. I do warn you though this video is longer than the 7 seconds it takes to raise the front too

Re: Video: Cargraphic Airlift Kit Installed @ SharkWerks
I'm considering going the 997tt route and this is definitely something i'm looking into. Which kit do you like more?

Sounds good and price-wise the Cargraphic is much less costly. They're both very nice systems though. I suppose the TechArt is quicker if that's important too?

Absolutely. As long as you have Bilstein PASM or PSS9/10 coil overs it can be retro-fitted by us/RSS.

Re: Video: Cargraphic Airlift Kit Installed @ SharkWerks
Can you PM me the price for an '06 CS?
And do you know anybody in the MD/DC that can install this?
Thanks!

Hey Moto, I've yet to update the page but this is what we have (the kits are $3499) and as far as MD/DC I'd need to scratch my head some...

Re: Video: Cargraphic Airlift Kit Installed @ SharkWerks
Yeah, this mod might have to wait. It's a little more expensive than I anticipated (and that's not including installation  ).
Thanks for the info!

I was referring to the techart one. That requires their shocks, no?

Oh I see... actually you can use a PASM/Bilstein kit with it too. It retro-fits.
