Default NEED HELP, air cup suspension

A friend of mine recently told me about air cup suspension but I have no knowledge of them. I currently have a 2014 is250 with RS-R BLACKi coilovers.

1.will they fit my coilovers?
2.how long is installation?
3.price for kit and install?
4. Are they more durable than air ride?
5. How long can I keep my car lifted?
6. How is the maintenance?
7. Which brand to trust and to avoid?

Sorry for all the questions. Just want to learn more about the available products so I can make a decision on what to buy. Thanks for your time.

Default Air cup suspension

The one on my 1999 Lexus GS 400 is the umbrella kit but only the fronts go up but that's how I got it and it's on bc coilovers with swift spring to my understanding is that u have to change your spring for the cups to fit but not 100 percent Shure

thanks for the info. I actually got in contact with one of the dealers. How do you like it? How long have the air cup been installed on your car? Have you had any problems? Thanks again
