ABP Suspension Air Kit. VW Transporter T5 / T5.1 / T6 / T6.1

ABP Transporter Air Suspension

ABP Transporter air suspension, catering to all models (T5/T5.1/T6/T6.1) including 4Motion.

The perfectly matched bags and stroke length on the piston rod allow you to gain maximum travel.

Refining Standards through ABP Suspension

ABP Transporter Air Suspension was the first product in the now well-established ABP brand. Built from the ground up with numerous rigorous tests and over 7 years of road testing globally, with thousands of kits fitted, ABP Suspension is proven for longevity.

Everything behind ABP Suspension was designed to work with quality-approved components, including bespoke Bilstein dampers made specifically for an air ride application. These provide the largest opened and closed length dampers for this vehicle on the market, offering the biggest range of travel.

A Range to Suit Your Needs

ABP Suspension has expanded its product range to adapt quickly to market gaps, adding both the shorty strut, which goes as low as any other strut on the market but also provides additional lift over competitors, and the lift version of the strut to cater for the swamper look or anyone wishing to run oversized wheels and tyres, achieving a significant lift over stock ride height. This caters to the complete market.

Whatever stance and requirements your vehicle needs, ABP Suspension has you covered.

Ride Height Adjustability:

A key benefit is the ability to adjust your Transporter’s ride height. This allows you to:

• Lower the vehicle: Achieve a more aggressive stance for a lowered look.
• Raise the vehicle: Increase ground clearance for off-roading or uneven terrain.
• Adjust for loading/unloading: Lower the vehicle for easier ingress and egress, especially helpful for those with limited mobility.

Enhanced Handling:

By adjusting the air pressure in the suspension, you can fine-tune your Transporter’s handling for different situations:

• Improved cornering: Stiffen the suspension to reduce body roll and improve cornering stability.
• Smoother ride: Soften the suspension for increased comfort, especially on rough roads.
• Reduced body roll: Minimize side-to-side sway during cornering for a more planted feel.
• Improved responsiveness: Achieve sharper steering response for better control and agility.
• Sharper turn-in: Experience more precise handling when initiating turns.

Performance Improvement:

Bilstein dampers are known for their ability to handle bumps and uneven roads effectively. This can translate to:

• Increased stability: Enjoy a smoother ride over rough surfaces with less bouncing or unsettling movement.
• Enhanced passenger comfort: Experience reduced impact from road imperfections for a more comfortable ride.
• Potentially improved braking performance: Benefit from better control during braking thanks to reduced body roll.
