Yeah, that kit is for the RWD car. I also posted a link to an available kit for the RWD car. Suspension is the same LWB vs SWB, there's no difference.

I already wrote to Arnott. They reply that they have no data on the 2013 AWD Air Suspension. Thus, the R & D dept cannot give their customers the assurance of when the after-market replacement will be available. But, they would definitely connect with me once there is a hint on the horizon. We all need to make waves by writing to Arnott. Unless Arnott feels there is a mass in need in the market place to buy the 2013 - 2017 AWD air ride replacement, Arnott cannot justify moving fast.

Thanks for that info! And yup, a lot of the aftermarket is determined by demand, plus they would probably want a "donor" vehicle to use for R&D/fitment. What a lot of people here don't realize is that car companies sometimes make significant part changes even in model years that aren't completely new, just facelift type changes. And as you well know, suspension isn't one of those areas where one just assumes parts from earlier years will fit latter models just because they're all part of the same generation. $1000+ isn't a wise gamble for us to try to make it work. LOL

Yep, exactly what I said. They have "no data" but that doesn't mean the struts they have will not work, they likely will. Someone just needs to bite the bullet and give them a shot.

Doubt you will find a large need for 13-17 air ride replacements for several years.

From my research preface lift parts are the same. Ceika performance is highly rated in the porsche groups and can build a custom set of coils. I actually have a brand new AWD set available if anyone is interested.
