You can drive with air in them, but the more air you have in the cups the less travel you have on you shock. With it fully aired up your just riding on springs. On the ruffer roads I do put a little air in the cups to take little travel out the shocks so I don't bottom out.

so i would just air up a lil bit on rougher roads not all the way so that there would still have a lil travel? correct?

also so the theory here is that i will basically adjust my coilovers to its lowest point and then these would pump my z up a lil... so how much lift do these give? like 4-5 inches?

I was going to get air suspension but decided to get coilovers instead

RyanWest · 02-07-2013, 11:11 PM

On the cup kit, is there any noise associated with lowering and raising the car?

like air pressure noise?

Also how high can the Phantom cup kit actually raise the car??? im sure it has a limit.

Ni55anPat · 02-08-2013, 06:36 PM

i have the UAS kit installed, i did very minimal of the install, then dropped it off at a shop.

sorry no, DIY's.

Any cup kit, air bag kit, etc will have noise.....where are supposed to get air from? a compressor....

KaienZ34 · 02-08-2013, 07:27 PM

and maybe a video?

cars in storage, will be swapping OEM shocks to coilovers in a month or so.
