Let's talk cups!

There's thousands of threads on Cups suspension, but I just need reassurance for myself....
 
I currently own a 2006 GS430 (Third Gen GS), just also purchased BCR Coilovers.... They're sitting in the closet waiting for the perfect set of cups to mate with.
 
I want to purchase a cups kit but I'm totally lost as to which set to order, or where to order it, because I heard on the 2gen GS and 1gen GS it's a bit different and both cars are a bit harder to fit a set of cups inside.
 
Here is the link of where i deduced this.

If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it :biggthumpup: Thank you!

Talk to OG

and who might that be? :)

Mike (OG) is a vendor here that pushes umbrella air cup kits. Hit him up.

because of the inverted spring on the rear suspension you would be looking at a front only kit (with umbrella at least, not sure if other companies have developed a solution). my stance is that all the major players in the game off a quality product with comparable function. i do not endorse the cheaper options.

Well, I dont know if this is any help or what, but one thing you might want to check is how low those coilovers can go for your application. I've read here that BC's can go pretty low, so I imagine you're good. But just saying to make sure. Because when you run cups, the cup hardware itself raises the ride height. I imagine different cup kits run different hardware, resulting in different measurements, so make sure you research it and factor that in before making a buy. Don't want to spend the cash and then end up with a ride height you're not happy with.

My experience, wanted to run cups, but it won't work out with my current setup/application (JIC FLT-TAR VIP for G50). The rears slam out and would work, but the fronts don't go low enough. If I run cups, I would have to switch my front coilovers to something that goes lower because the front JIC's on the lowest setting + a cup kit won't go as low as I want, even when deflated all the way.

even with different length springs?

Typo**

Since my springs are inverted (and this may seem as a dumb question), cant i invert the cups also? Or will that destroy somethin?
