But for that price, it think its still a competition for most Cup kits that are available on the market right now.
@kennymo, I know the price are pricey and people tend to go to airbag system because it has more functions and everything, but people like me who wants to go with cup kits are probably because we don't want to compromise on our car's handling and performance but at the same time needed the leverage from time to time to go over obstacles. The cup kits has another advantage and that is, it won't tend to leak like the airbags system that i have heard so much story about.
I wouldn't necessarily extrapolate Platinum VIP's answer to say you can't ride with them inflated at all times. From just that basic answer it suggests it would slowly deflate over time, but that doesn't mean you can't just add more air to refill it. What wear this causes over extended periods? I have no idea.

Sorry to thread jack, but there's alot of info that's new to me here. I'm currently lowered on coilovers, but my condo complex has large speed bumps that I have drive over at a 45 angle just to avoid scraping...big PITA...

Anyone know my cheapest option to raise the front up quickly just to get over the bumps then down again...like anything cheaper than the cup kits that are basically 2k?

Thnak Xet.. yea, i guess it will wear them down sooner than if used deflated most of the time.
@bjquinnIUmed, cup kit will be an option for you. But i know the costs are crazy, but if you have only the fronts, it should cost you ard 2k. Or you can just bag it.. hehe
