Woah. Never heard of "cups" before. What are they for? Did they come with the coilovers?

Air cups are for temporarily raising the vehicle when you approach an obstacle you need to drive over, like a speed bump or pulling in and out of a driveway.

The coil overs are installed at the desired ride hight and are not affected by the air cups when not in use.

How much is a set? And how hard is the install? How does it work exactly?

I just opened the box today... Unfortunately I've only had time to drool over them. I'm not sure if I'll get them on before spring.

I found a set lightly used and got a deep discount on them. I paid less than half the cost for the set used. That said Phantom sells a set new for $2,800 I believe. The worst part of the install is running the air line.

What he said!!

Thats a good idea... maybe I need to look at getting some cups. Nice. Your welcome to come down here and I will help u put them on. Pretty easy so far. Im about halfway done. The air lines and stuff is another task but im guessing reasonable.

I have a buddy up here with a lift, just need to get some time set aside to do it. I play to drive down to Louisville for water by the bridge on March 22. Maybe we could meet up then.

As promised, here's what I'm thinking for the tank and compressor layout. The tank that came with the set only accepts plastic air line, so I ran that through some aluminum hard line to make it look a little cleaner. I wanted to make it with a few more bends but I couldn't get it to work. I'm thinking I'll have the tank painted purple to add to that look in the interior. You can also see how I did the GT Spec strut bar through the OEM plastics. I need to sand the cuts down and get some grommets to clean it up, but I like the look over cutting everything up.

OMGWTFBBQ · 01-26-2014, 03:44 PM

Random question. How'd you choose that specific spot and layout? The tank doesn't fit in between the GT spec bar and the OEM brace bar huh? The tank in between the two bars and the pump? underneath the GT spec bar?

I chose that corner because I'm able to hide all the electrical wires going to the pressure switch on the tank this way.

The tank is too big to fit under the strut bar and I thought it would be an eye soar sitting in the middle of the trunk.

Do you have the Bose sub back there? If so I'm wondering how much that ply wood muffles sound back there?
