Love to hear some long term fees back. Heard good things about umbrella.

Ba2sy has platinum VIP cups on his and I've been following up with him. His has been holding up so far.

Top notch build man!

Thanks Mingofish. I paid a bit but saved a bit too. My driveway is really steep so with that said I usually bag or cup every car that I lower. The amount of money I spent over the years, I could have paid a contractor to re-pave my driveway but the city would not approve it. Also it is not fun loosing your bumper trying to pull into your driveway, especially when the neighbors are out watching you fail in life.

You shouldn't be envious, have you looked at your car. I swear I go through your build thread at least once a week because of the quality build.

I had Phantom kits before and ran into a few issues in the past, mainly due to tires hitting the cups with my tires and spinning them breaking the airlines, multiple cars (I like to run thick tires and slammed). Phantom cups are also larger than the other companies like umbrella, but with Phantoms they raise a bit higher. Phantoms prices are pretty reasonable but it comes at a price with manual paddles and you would still need to wire everything up yourself, which you can pay to have someone do it for you or take time out of your day to wire and plumb everything. I have also had Umbrella before on my S2000 and the main reason why I went back was due to quality. Umbrella is plug and play, electric valves/switches, hand built and assembled, and parts were machined to application. I had to send my coilovers to Umbrella to assemble.

The customer service of Umbrella is also on point. Phantom had pretty good customer service if you can get Kennedy on the phone, which was 1 out every 5 times I have called.

Great so far! I almost went with the same setup last year with the Umbrella kit, but it's pretty flat in Florida lol. How long did you have to wait on your cf shift ****? I paid bulletproof 6 months ago.......
Also, is that your Lambo?

It took me a bit longer than you. As far the engine bay, I was going to powder coat and paint a few pieces. I was planning on installing my bags but maybe not since my wife might have thrown my remote to my management system away by accident. FML

Thank you...
The shift **** was purchased from Demik, so no wait time. The Lambo belongs to Ravi who is the owner of Umbrella.

Holy cow! Did you bag the car or is that the cups? Confused. Didn't think cups will get that low.

I'm on bags currently. I had two different suspension setup. I'll probably be installing my KW with the cups pretty soon. My wife refuses to drive the car on bags because she is scared of them popping.
