That’s what I was thinking. I’m looking as well but may just end up with regular Fortune Auto 500 coils. They are looking for a test car to create a kit. So I believe half off the kit and free installation. But you’re in cali I see. Lol. Definitely a cool idea though with the cups. I dig it.

i wanted to go fortune auto everything too. kami said fortune auto was wanting to test, but then i was like nvm. stanceparts has a good rep of fitting on bc coils, which is main reason i went with them.

The stancepart air cups, what size should I be ordering to fit the BC coils from their website? Theres 2 drop downs with multiple options when selecting the air cups.

Just make sure to run an air/water separator. a buddy of mine with air cups/coil-overs on his LS400 didn't have one. the moisture ruined a pump, switch, and switching valve, and had rust in the air tank.

p.s. don't run a baby air tank. get the decent size one.

Anybody have an experience with other Air Cups? Platinum VIP, Umbrella Auto Design, and etc... Like to hear what are differences if any between Stanceparts and etc.

UPDATE:

so installing the fronts were straight forward. the rears have clearance issues (check my thread of pics). so only wired up the fronts. drove the car for a week WITHOUT cups before, and it has been a week WITH them on. you cant tell the difference at all. cups raise my car instantly by 2 inches.
