Also, remember that the coils you choose need to be able to make up for the height the cups add. I'm not sure on this kit, but generally cups add about 2'' of height to the car.
Example: You sit 4 inches off the ground, throw on the cups, and make no other adjustments and install back on the car. The car will now be 6'' off the ground.
This is important to know because some coils like HKS and Tein won't be able to get low enough to make up for this difference. You shouldn't have an issue with Stance or those cheapy Megan type coils (the "I just wanna slam it, bro" type coilovers), but will run into issues with HKS, Tein (more performance oriented coils). I remember BC being boarder line depending on how low you wanna be and was advise to get the "extreme drop kit" from BC that allowed you to get another inch of lowering of out them.
Rocker switch. Instead of compressor out line going to tank it goes directly to air line connected to cup. Rocker switch is middle (neutral/all off), rocker up is ON compressors (raises car), rocker down is pressure release valve (lowered car) - this is a passive action - the weight of the car forces all the air out.
Here is a video using this method. The compressor I had was tiny/$50 part that needed to be rebuilt every 2 weeks due to strain. Get a nice one and it'll pop up fast.

Not trying to thread jack.
Everything Chris (AmateuRN) mentioned is correct and good info but recommend using an air tank.
It takes too long to raise vehicle with just compressor, I learned from experience because Chris's old setup is on my car with a Tank and better compressor. Was not pleased with original setup but works great now and could not go without it.

I'm really considering doing this down the road.. I wanna roll slammed and just raise it to get over stuff when needed and I don't want bags because I don't want to lose the ride my stances have.. Id even consider selling my true stances and getting an oem stance setup so the rears will mount without modification..

Alright guys...Some good news for you true rear coilover guys.
Well i just met with the owner at Platinum VIP and we figured out a way to modify your lower bracket to run the cups without having to do any body work or drilling new holes to mount the top hat.
However this will require you send your coilovers to us so we can install the cup and modify the lower bracket in the rear.
This will make it a complete plug and play option for you True Rear Coilover guys.
Also I was able to strike a deal and have him offer this Free of Charge to the guys involved in this group buy.
Onto another bright note.
If you live in Socal and would like to have installed at Platinum VIP as well as part of the group buy he has also agreed to work on the install price with you as well. Your looking at saving roughly $100 off the install. Which is normal $500
