Phantom Air Cup Kit Suspension Now Offered at Statik Performance!!
I am still interested its just GB hasnt taken off like I thought it would and getting too late in the year not to have my car driveable considering it takes up to 3weeks plus shipping time before I get my coils back and then need to finish installing/testing the system as well as readjusting the coils and also an alignment, car events and shows already poping up for March and I will need to wait until fall/winter to go forward with purchasing the kit

For those interested in picking up a round/pancake tank to go into the spare tire area and leave some trunk space I found this online. Henry if you have any suggestions on tanks you carry please post up some links. For others interested if you guys have other links post them up.

I've had mine installed for a few months now, can't say enough about the owner and how nice he was during my order, I'm all the way up the coast in Vancouver Canada here. He's a stand up guy and I'm sure he'll take care of any of you in here the same he did with me.
I'm running BC racings with optional 12k front and 10k rear setup, sent him measurements of springs and shaft to ensure a tight fit. Once they arrived it was a very simple install and I took it to a shop that's already installed a few other types of cup kits as well.
I will say one thing though, for those guys wanting this done on a true OEM style coilover, you need to make sure that your strut and spring adjustments in the rear are PROPER... by that I mean that the height adjustments are nice and even, the strut height adjusted the way it's supposed to be in unison with the rear springs. Because my left one at install time was off by an inch n half, and this caused the actual cup to clip and chip off the powdercoat off my spring, made a nasty nasty noise. Basically when the spring compressed it did not compress directly straight down but went a little sideways therefore the cup would hit the spring.
BUT this had absolutely nothing to do and it was no fault of the kit/cups themselves, they're designed very well, it was a problem with the strut/spring adjustment, it was off by over an inch so obviously that's gonna throw something off, I'm saying from personal experience make sure the adjustments are nice and even so your spring compress directly down under load.
I had a pretty ultimate test with these I must say I was worried, lol, me and all my basketball buddies usually take my friends SUV to go play ball, but on this day he didn't have it, so we ended up taking my G, so a 250lb guy in front seat, and 3 guys in the back tightly fit each weighing 180 lbs. We all sat in the car and I hit the switches raised up like a champ
Here's a quick vid I took few months ago after install when I still had the problem in the rear and I wasn't able to fully slam things back there like I did on the front. I've since obviously fixed the problem and am riding half tire tucked all 4 corners no problem.... gonna be making a few new vids pretty soon with an HD cam
