Also the 1" ride height doesn't look horribly drastic so instead of having to aircup substantially it always looks good. So best of both worlds kinda thing. If anyone prefers more height adjustablity
A lowered car driving over speed bumps or up steep driveways would require more than 1" of lift.
Other cup kits on the market like the phantom one by platinum vip can lift up 3" which is more ideal for these kind of situations.

Thanks guys, i dont know why i waited so long to do this Original goal was to have black bison wald front, but so far I'm digging this Arkym front just as much. First big car show of the year isnt really until August out here in Texas (or in Houston at least) so I'm ramping up for the late season

This all depends upon ride height and ground clearance man. I dont think he'd go through all the time/money/work of installing a cup kit that gives an inch of extra clearance if it didnt aid him getting over obstacles. When i was on coils, an inch would have been a lifesaver getting in and out of bad parking lots.

Lol there's more, maybe like 7-8.

I could start a supercharger thread for the 3 boosted guys on here. The other two guys aren't wasting their time on the forum as often as I am tho.

Looking good tho Dangy. Pic looks like a fancy cartoon drawing, but good none the less!
