sounds like you want bags...... the cups wont allow you to go extra low when parked they are only made to raise the car up for a short period..... you cant ride with them aired up for very long

so you will still be riding extra low all of the time and not just when parked

if u want to go lower at standstill, get bags, but i did come up on something very interesting, but this was after the fact my air was already put in, its from Universal air suspension japan its kind of like a cup kit, but they are air bags, so i guess its like a cup kit of steroids lol

the phantom kit by platinum VIP stating that u can ride with them aired up.

i only need that xtra 3-5cm to get it up! So if i can ride on platinums cups that would be grat! lower it in the height i want it standstill and from there go up 5cm when driving.

The Phantom kit by VIP appears to be a great product. Ive seen and witnessed it firsthand and would go this route over bags. There are no limitations with driving and ride height using the cup kit. Plus its far less complicated in terms of functionality and wont take up trunk space!

Keep in mind the cup kit was not designed for pancaking, although this is possible it was not its intended purpose. IF, you do pancake and in the RARE instance something malfunctions your car will be stuck at that height and most likely wont be moving.

cup kits arent design to drive lifted. if u do, it will be a very bouncy ride.
they are design to lift your car in situations that need the extra height to get over. its basically a coilover with added height when needed

correct because the higher you go the higher the spring rate will be. But I dont think anyone including my self wants to cruise around "lifted" in their gs. I would use the cup kit for its intended purposes which is to get up driveways, make steep/u-turns, and when my car is packed to level out the ride height, or if you just want to drive very low for the conditions drop it down, its all good
