I'm guessing its something like a cup kit? Does the car handle/ride better? Also, what did you do with the teins? Car is fire

It is exactly like a cup kit. The car handles great. Before bags I was on Tein HA's and now back on Tein Flex. With no air in the cups it is just like riding on the coils since the cup deflated is more like a spacer. The tein CS that I had before were sold to tofu_house.

Darn it!! I wanted it because at speeds over 100+, my car sways. And yes, I shouldn't be going that fast. Was the ride close to stock when you had Tein and UAS? I need to replace shocks, but if the coilover on bags handle better, I'll do that.

Right now I can't go any lower in the front or I won't be able to turn. When I was on UAS my fender rested on the top my rim with the tire barely touching the inside fender. So the only way to go lower is to camber in more and I need to buy some front arms for that. Just waiting for FIGS to finish development on those.

You can go lower.. but that will require more negative camber.

Your car looked awesome dumped to the ground. Still looks great, but I does change the look now.

What was the reason you changed your suspension?

What did you go with the Platinum VIP Phatom Kit?

The new kit rides great. I can drive with air in the cups with no problems and drive just on the coils though my car is still a needs some tweaking with the stance.

I decided to change it back to coilovers since I missed driving spirited. I was on coils before I had the bodykit and once I went to bags it just wasn't the same. I'm running the Exotic Air suspension.
