“I’m glad I installed this kit. Installation was straightforward of you take your time. The air cups give me 1.5 inch additional clearance which is enough to avoid scraping my lip. I’m glad I got it and am happy with it. I added a master on/off switch so I can control when the air compressor is activated.”
“Pretty ingenious, simple design. I’ve never been interested in bagging a vehicle and as I get older I’m more interested in a higher quality ride. I purchased the Stance Parts kit to go on a set of Ohlins for my vehicle out of fear of ripping off my new bumper and carbon lip. Adding the cups was simple, since I was installing the suspension anyway. Running the line also proved to be not that difficult as my car had some grommets in just the right places. Instructions were simple to follow, and once I had mapped everything out, I plugged it all in and it worked like a charm.”
“I have been using Stanceparts air cups on my NSX for 7 years and cannot reccomend them enough! They're the perfect solution for an enthusiast like myself who wants to run their car at a low ride height but still wants coilovers to go canyon carving without the fear of destroying my aero driving around town. Well worth the investment and the customer service has been nothing short of amazing. Buy with confidence!”
“Maarten is a legend! Got a pair of Aircups as a gift. Turns out I measured the diameter of the coilover shaft incorrectly but he got me squared away and sent a new set out ASAP. He was super helpful even before I had the cups, running maths with me to make sure everything was as expected before receiving them. Just a solid business ran by a solid person (or persons) selling a fantastic product.”
“This is peak performance! Even my daily-driftcar needed this! You have the performance of the coilovers and the possibility to lift the car whenever you want! 5+ years with the cups all around my 2 cars and any problems!”
“I got the kit for all 4 wheels for my Datsun 280ZX. The installation instructions are very easy to follow, but it is a lot of work if you want to do a clean installation. I also opted for a second button so I have the front and rear cups to be activated independently. The cups work perfect and they make the difference when going through a speed bump or having to enter a parking (it helps a lot, but doesn't save you in all cases if you are really low). The only drawback is the stiffness on the suspension when the car is lifted, as in my particular case it can't lift all the 5cm (only 3,8cm) and the system then compresses the spring, making the car feel like it has no suspension at all, having to go through the speed bump at 5 kmh. But that is better than scratching your bumper or the underbody right? XD
Overall, a must if you want to lower the car, and the quality of every part is amazing. Also, great customer support.”
Hi Adria,
Thank you for your review! About the stiffness when driving aired up, this is because you don't have enough droop on the coilovers. As you said, the air cups are limited in lift so they will compress the springs and make the car stiffer. This can be solved by giving the coilovers more droop, for example by installing helper springs.
High spring rates or too much preload on the springs also will decrease droop and will limit the lift of the air cups.
