Cup suspension only works for the fronts (or rears) alone, not all around. Atop of that he's already on struts with bags on it, and it's been modified, that's like what... $400 all over again for struts + the price of 2 cups? (~600?).
Will Cup suspension in general even line up correctly on a drop with the height of bags? I'm pretty sure it won't since the two are completely different. I already had a discussion with Mike (a guy I dealt with on suspension) about cups suspension and it was said they're built to only drop and raise the fronts are rears alone, for dumped cars.
P.S. masboy, try ot get a ruler, and measure the bottom of the strut to the bag and see how far that gets you, ALSO take a picture of that so I can see where you started your measurement. I will do the same and we can compare.

Well, mine's is the EXACT same setup, so I'm not sure why your's is rubbing if your's matches sticky4. I'd say contact previous owner and confirm they're modified by UAS, otherwise they might need to be remodified. Also, sticky's rear struts look like they sit a lot lower than your's.... notice how your bars are AGAINST the wall while sticky's is UNDER the wall.
P.S. Sticky4, how do you still adjust your dampering when that big huge gap is above the dampering ****?

yes, you need to get it remodified, sorry for the late reply..... what the deuce is that metal thing sticking out right there? that doesn't look good at all =\
I'd email UAS and get them to fix it or email them and have them REMODIFY it for proper fitment

glad everything worked out well! Honestly, I now have the funds for the air suspension and am ready to order... I just like the fact that i'm sitting debt free for the time being, so my setup will not be done for a while.... I will however, pick up a hot deal on the rest of the air setup whenever i see it laying around 
My brother's LS430 is already done, and he started 3 months ago! I'm about 1-2years in now
