Air Ride Kit

I'm looking to raise my ride at the push of a button/switch to clear steep places and then go back down for normal driving. Whats the most affordable route to go. I don't want to spend 3k on it. I don't want bags. Looking for something bag-less. I'm currently dropped Tanabe PRO 5.

Hydraulics or airbags.

That's pretty much it.

cup kit? I was looking at Phantom Suspension. It goes on your existing coilovers. But was wondering how long it lasts. Anyone on here have it?

Current pricing is $2400 for COMPLETE front kit ready to install, plus cost of coils if you want new ones or don't wanna send them yours, they do the retrofit in-house then send everything to you

as for quality, design and value the VRH kit is second to none. it's even the select cupkit for GT-RR's "Ultimate Spec" JRZ suspension setup>>> http://www.gt-rr.com/product.html?m=...height&id=1504

to put that into perspective, they have the KW full HLS system listed for less, LOL>>> http://www.gt-rr.com/product.html?m=...em_hls&id=1532

I'll be looking for complete front and rear kit. No way I can get a good one for under 3k? And I'll be sticking with my coilovers.

no, not a "good one" and rears are honestly pointless

Would there need to be modification to the rear because our G's aren't a true setup? After I add my Impul sides I will scrape the sides so I think I would need the rears.

Umbrella won't even make rear kits for the G/Z because even w/a true-rear conversion there are too many compromises in performance. Exotic Air made one for OEM rears for a guy on my350z but EA kits are even more expensive than Umbrella's kit and EA gives you all your parts in pieces(not ready to install). Also the EA cups aren't made of as good materials as the Umbrella one and the kit itself doesn't work as good, basically a bargain style setup but at above a premium cost.

also the guy running the OEM style rear cups can't even go low in the rear, defeating the purpose

So you gonna mod your car and not want to spend money? Cup kits are worth more then 3k for front and rear. Just raise your coils if you dont want to scrape. We all scrape all the time deal with it.

Raise your car simple as that if your tired from driving up your drive way
