Cup Kits - Where to go for best bang for my buck?
Sup Guys,
I'm looking to investing in a cup kit for my IS250. There are a ton of different brands and setups out there, including some local shops that build these for you ontop of your existing coilover system. I have a few questions..
Where/who do I need to talk to get the best bang for the buck kit?
What are some things I need to look out for after installing this kit?
What are some optional goodies that most kits do not come with but are quality of life investments?
Would my swift spring upgrade on my current coilovers virtually be a waste after going with the cup kit system?
Do cup kits come with multi-level functionality settings that I can pre-set similar to a full air system?
Would I need to have my car re-alligned after a few months after moderate use?
What tank size would be ideal? I understand that full air suspension usually requires a few small, or one large tank to satisfy the full air systems.

I'm on stock cup kits at the moment. I use the smaller cup kit under the push down flap in front of arm rest for any 12-20oz beverages and when I pick up a 44oz or bigger I use the cup kit inside the center armrest. I considered upgrading to titanium cup kits but the R.O.I. was not there.

Lmao I think you have the wrong "cup kit" in mind. The OP is talking about the cup kit that lowers the car.

OH. Hmmm... I saw a titanium cup kit for just $2,000 which is supposed to maintain the temperature of hot coffee and/or a cold beverage with over 3,000% more efficiency than the stock plastic cup kits.
Just kidding dude - I was joking all along. =)

LOL!!!
Where/who do I need to talk to get the best bang for the buck kit?
depends on how many bucks u have
What are some things I need to look out for after installing this kit?
Pretty darn simple. if u can install a spring, you can do this
What are some optional goodies that most kits do not come with but are quality of life investments?
Nope...but I hear Platinum VIP will warranty their kits if u send them the coilovers to install it,
Would my swift spring upgrade on my current coilovers virtually be a waste after going with the cup kit system?
it doesnt effect your spring rate or drive quality when not in use.
Do cup kits come with multi-level functionality settings that I can pre-set similar to a full air system?
Cup kits arent designed to ride around inflated, so there are no systems that have "adjust levels". You will blow out o rings if u treat it like a full on air-ride setup
Would I need to have my car re-alligned after a few months after moderate use?
All cars should be aligned when u alter the suspension, coilover,air,whatever..
What tank size would be ideal? I understand that full air suspension usually requires a few small, or one large tank to satisfy the full air systems.
u can use really small tanks..less space,weight...good reason to have a cup kit
