Description
Just facts - The B2BFAB Level-2 Camber Correcting Lift Kit is the only kit on the market for your Taos that provides the 1.5" lift you want without sacrificing handling, ride quality, or proper alignment specifications!
The Overview:
The owners of B2BFAB developed the first lift kit in 2016 for the MQB platform (MQB = shared chassis for Atlas, Tiguan, Alltrack, Taos, Golf, Jetta, Audi A3, Q3, and more). The initial kit was a simple bolt-through front spacer design and resulted in less-than-ideal alignment specs, which made for less-than-ideal handling and tire wear. Both were issues that needed to be addressed. Over the next five years, they tested numerous prototypes and worked to perfect a design that checked all of the boxes. We are proud to introduce the B2BFAB Taos LEVEL-2 Camber Correcting Lift Kit!
The Problem:
For the Taos and the majority of road-going vehicles, a small amount of negative camber is dialed into the front and rear suspension to offer proper handling. When a Taos is lifted with a bolt-through spacer lift kit or spring lift the negative camber of the front wheels is reduced or removed. With no camber adjustment present on the front suspension components, zero camber or even positive camber is unavoidable with bolt-through lift spacers or spring lifts.
"Why do I care?"
The proper amount of negative camber ensures optimal contact between the tire and the road through all handling maneuvers. When front camber is outside of the manufacturer's specified range in the positive direction, the handling is floaty, twitchy, and generally unstable at highway speeds. Unfortunately the Taos does not have a way to adjust front camber.
The Solution:
By offsetting the upper mounting point of the front struts, the B2BFAB lift kit removes the excessive positive camber allowing proper suspension geometry and specifications.
We STRONGLY RECOMMEND the B2BFAB Rear Strut Extender Kit or Atlas Rear Shock Upgrade in conjunction with this lift kit. See descriptions below to decide which is right for you.
For optimal rear shock travel and maximum life from your OEM shocks, we suggest the B2BFAB Rear Shock Extender Kit available at ES4616268. (Front shock extenders are not required as front shock travel is not affected with the install of this kit)
If you are looking to optimize your rear shock travel and increase load capacity the B2BFAB Atlas Rear Shock Upgrade is available at ES4616303.
We also STRONGLY RECOMMEND replacing ALL one-time-use hardware during the install to ensure proper torque specs and avoid hardware failure. Upgraded Complete OEM Hardware Kit is available at ES4616302.
*This lift kit is not recommended to combine with other lifting options
*Color Install instructions included.*
This kit is also suited for the Skoda Karoq and Seat Ateca available in other markets globally.
