Coilover cup kits

How many of you are running some kind of air cup setup on your coilovers? Are you running them on a daily driver? How long have you had them? Please share your setup and experience!

Thanks

I believe North Style has some

Liquid G used to have the Umbrella VRH kit before he went full air, he had a thread about them

I've also heard good things about the Aragosta kit, made by Roberuta

That's correct... I have the Stance USA cup kit (fronts only). I only drive my car during the Spring and Summer so I don't really consider it a "daily driver", but I put about 4-5k miles on it annually during those months.

I've had the kit installed for a little over a year, and have mostly positive things to say about it: extremely useful for steep inclines and/or speedbumps, I haven't had to mess with the compressor/tank/lines since finishing install, and the tank is small enough to fit in most tight spaces.

However, I did have issues with initial setup (everything was wired incorrectly, so I had to contact Stance and have them send me a diagram of how it "should" have been and I fixed it based off of that). Also, I believe my air solenoid is on its way out as lately on days above +/- 60 degrees it will stick open and not want to raise the car unless I toggle the switch back/forth a few times. Beyond that, the sway bar will need to be greased more often, making sure the tank is emptied every now and then, and I've had to replace my endlinks already (I'll be switching to SPL eventually).
