From my understanding that a cup kits which isn't anything like the AIR system that we seen in this thread. Cup kits allow u to ride low on your coils and be able to raise your car whenever u need to but it doesn't design to let u ride on it high because the air will leak. But correct me if I'm wrong.

Me at one point was considering cup kits as well but after doing the research i HAVE to go AIR no Cups for me!

cup kit...if you get the legit one,,it's hella expensive
(but that's not a problem from Mr. BALLER, right? )

positive: you can track your car,,drive freakin hard,,no problem
negative: it won't go as high,,or as low as Air Bags

and I'm pretty sure there are more positive and negative things to it

depends what kind of suspension you already have. If you have Tanabe coilovers you can go with UAS and it would be a lot cheaper, With installion should be under 3grand. Other air systems would probably run you around 4 grand installed. With the wheels and offsets, it all depends how much you wanna play with your camber, meaning getting camber kit for meagan or something.

hmm thats a good question lolz.. Most likely when we mod our rides we like to keep our OEM parts alone, maybe its just me haha.. GET COILOVERS bro, but if you wanna play just do it right and get AIR cant go wrong. Everyone with their air system are happy with them and i might just join the club oneday.
