SIMOTA1's journal....

I'm curious, why do you both prefer cup kits over bags? I assume performance?

I was/am weighing out my options. Coils will always have better performance. I haven't decided which way I want to go with the car. My car is very functional as it sits right now. I would have too many headaches if I did coils and lowered it more. Doesn't make sense for me to go coilovers and stay at the same ride hight...

Yes, +1 on cup kits, maintain performance and less issue than bags. But OMG Top Secret makes some now...

Cup kit is on my 2014 wish list...especially if u saw the video in my journal about my garage entrance lol.

A cup kit fits on top of coilovers and allows you to actually lift the car to get over obstacles. Many supercars come with them now so they can get into parking lots.

Yeah, it's sick. I thought looking at your car my build would never end. Looking at his, I think I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders. Now I know there's no way I can ever achieve greatness. LOL I can finally rest. LMAO!
