About

Continental air suspension struts and air suspension compressors combine outstanding performance with maximum safety. Now they are also available as new parts for the independent aftermarket. These original equipment parts ensure perfect driving dynamics and comfort under all driving and load conditions. They also contribute to greater safety, especially in heavily loaded vehicles, plus significant fuel savings and reduced CO2 emissions.

Benefits and features
  • The vehicle is lowered at high speeds to optimize driving dynamics and reduce rolling and pitching movements.
  • The Electronic Air Suspension System (EASS) increases comfort under all driving and load conditions.
  • Wheel load fluctuations are reduced, contributing to greater safety, especially in heavily loaded vehicles.
  • Lowering of the vehicle cuts back fuel consumption and reduces CO2 emissions.
