+1 on a cup kit.

If I remember correctly 2thextreme's problems surfaced after he had an accident. With any air ride system, an accident would definitely cause chaos w/ the air lines, etc.

Glad to hear some positive things about Platinum VIPs Phantom Cup Kit :tup:

myself, i dont' track, nor do i drive like an ***....i'd probably stick with the OEM suspension + bag combo....but yet still have a better ride!

This is a very popular combo that has turned on for the G's as well. There are two different ways of running this setup.

1. Running a true Coilover (ex. KW V3) with a bag replacing the actual coil. When inflated, you control how stiff you want the spring recoil, and the max "height" is reached at full inflation. This is more for "looks" at shows to slam your car.

2. Some have ran the bag setup completely over the coilover setup. What this does it give you the capability of raising your car up for curbs or even steep entrances into a track. Fully releasing the air in the bag lowers the car to down onto the coils(track mode). This is only available by custom setups, but seems to be the best option for our cars to use them to full potential :driving:


Theeeen there's a "cup kit". This is quite a bit different, and in its own catigory all together. All this does is put a small extention to expand between the coil of your spring to slightly raise your car for a few moments. This is ideal for very short periods of time and just to get in higher areas without bottoming out.

Are you doing the install yourself?

Ni55anPat 10-04-2012 07:51 PM

Yes, myself and a buddy...should be about a 6-8 hour job

Subscribed ! Nice thread, would love to see the DIY for this.. Good luck brother, this is going to be a cool build. :tiphat:

Ni55anPat 10-05-2012 01:59 PM

I cannot discuss the pricing, sorry guys.

I believe they sell the kit for $2200-2400 online.

I will try my best with a DIY

simota1 10-06-2012 08:33 AM

one quick question... so can the cup kit hold up ur car for a drive or its meant to just lift your car up for a couple of seconds only?

Ni55anPat 10-06-2012 09:16 AM

good question, i'd have to research more about that kit.

I would THINK that it would stay up then drop whenever you want?
