So what's the deal? Can you roll slammed safely? (not slammed to the ground like when you're parked, a bit higher) Did people who roll slammed do any custom work to ride like that, or are they just changing some settings?

My friend wants bags, but he doesn't want to be driving around raised up.
I suggest coils on bags if he wants to go low and ride low. The bags will bounce due to the shocks not having the damping capabilities of the coils.

don't know how much bags cost but cups aren't cheap. the advantage of cups is that you ride on coils period. the cup is just an air powered piston so it has ZERO effect on handling & ride.

Exactly why I got them... so much more practical for daily driving.

So do u adjust the coils to the lowest they go so u can lay it out?? Then use the bags to raise it up to drive??

That's what I would do - that way when you fill your bags to raise your car you can put more psi in it so that the ride is better. That's why the Tokico's suck, they don't go low enough and I was forced to drive at 26psiF0psiR to even be close to slammed.

Anyone have pictures of their setups? Was curios if the entire AccuAir setup (5 gallon tank, 2 400c compressors, and the vu4 valve unit) all fit in a coupe wheel well. And if so, would it all fit mounted together with the exo2 mount?

**** yeah, going cup kit + coils. My boys at SonicMS actually made their own and it's cheaper than going coils + bags + elevel 8). 2" of raise which is a significant amount when it comes to being low. So excited, I'll actually be able to drive my car.

The compressors and valve unit will fit but I think the tank is a little too tall. I think what I've seen people do is just cut the top so that it just pokes out a little, it looks pretty sick too imo. I could be wrong and maybe tha tank fits in there also.

I'm not too sure how much it raises, I just said 2" because as you know, with cups you can only have 1 other height. Sonic carries all kinds of ****, they have the Platinum VIP kit for example and the cars they **** with aren't a joke.I'm pretty sure my boy at the shop made these for a reason... I'll let you guys know when they finish installing them!

SDG, are they all the hype they're brought up to be? Bags suck *** (for my purpose), I'm done with them. Coils are awesome, but I'll get stuck driving straight. Cups sound like the best of both worlds...

To be honest, I don't think he's really selling them. Let me talk to them for you guys. Been getting lots of questions lol. They just make the cup but they're distributers for a bunch of air management companies.
