Hey guys, need some help here because I never worked with platnium cups before. Hoping someone in here would have some idea on what is the next step for me.

I just bought a 94 LS400 and been looking at different builds and I came along with some cups for sale. I decided to purchase them but I don't have any coils or anything just yet.

So right now I am searching for some used BC or Megan coils to fit on these cups. From there I just need a simple setup, thinking of going with the manual switch since it's only

going to be raise when is needed for the fronts. Could you guys help me out on directing to sites or options I can look through to complete my air cup system. Thanks!

you will have to treat this like installing full air suspension, even if a manual setup is desired. my current 97 has aftermarket air suspension, see my build thread here to get an idea of what you are in for. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...tup-ucf20.html

a good one stop shopping place is: https://www.bagriders.com/

here is my parts list, edited for your needs:
- BC Racing BR-type coilovers (your choice of coil overs)
- Universal Air Suspension Aero Sport bags w/brackets (replace with your cup kit)
- 1/4" airline
- SMC 3/8" valves (not needed for manual valves)
- dual Firestone compressors (a single compressor will do, viair or similar)
- 5gal chrome tank (3-5 gal tank is fine for cups)
- Norgren water traps (not really necessary but I like having them to catch moisture to prevent collecting)
- Viair 165/200psi tank pressure switch (you can use a lower pressure like 110/145 for cups)
- Air Ride Technologies digital gauge (a luxury, not a necessity)
- Dakota Digital pressure senders (a luxury, not a necessity)
- EAI switchbox (not needed for manual valves)

you will need:
manual valves aka paddle valves (2 or 4 depending on how you want to go)
any associated fittings, I like push-to-connect DOT fittings myself
