Default Phantom cup kit....anyone?

I posted this over in the GS forums with no input, maybe I will have better luck over here.

Is anyone running the Phantom cup kit that can give me some feedback? Im thinking about going that route. Its prompted by the fact i come from a photo shoot saturday, car all cleaned up and feeling good......then damn near rip my bumper off going into my driveway. Going nice and slow over a block of wood, the wood slid sideways and wedged itself between the tire and bumper pushing it forward....sucks *** but fixable.

Anyhow, $2300 plus is a lot of coin, but it would be nice to actually be able to come and go at my own house!!

I think were a few SC guys that ran that kit and they said good things about it. I considered it a long time ago but ended up going another route. Is everything you need included in that kit for $2,300? I want air suspension but don't have $6,000 to blow.

You're welcome! That's not bad at all.

Personally have never used it, but have heard extremely good things about it. IIRC, its a bagless airride kit that you would basically use to get over speed bumps/non-friendly driveways.. When your "aired out" (lowest setting) your on your coilovers and do not lose any "suspension performance" (if thats a word). When going over bumps, you get clearance and do what you need to do. Doesn't Platinum VIP make the kits or was it Roberuto (sp?)?
