The system should only be used at speeds below 60 kmh / 40mph.
The system should only be used to pass obstacles, not to be driven constantly lifted.
AIR CUP LIFT System
A perfect combination of airride and coilovers, the air cup lift system allows you to maintain the ride quality and performance of coilovers while providing the ability to raise your car for obstacles.
Universal
The air cup lift system is designed to fit on 90% of coilovers from any brand. Your coilover must meet certain dimensional requirements. Click the button below to see all fitment specs.
How does it work
It basically is an air cylinder on top of your coilover. Whenever you need to pass an obstacle you can apply pressure to the cups and it will raise your car with 50mm.
Make sure you have enough clearance around the coilovers. The air cups are 120mm in diameter, and the fitting is 17mm
Springs
The air cups can only be installed on linear springs and will not fit on 'shaped' springs, as shown in the figure. In most situations, it is possible to replace shaped springs with linear springs.
Damper Shaft
Measure the thickest part of the shaft with a caliper, measure below any rings or clips.
Air cups are available for coilover shaft diameters:
12,5mm
14mm
15mm
16mm
18mm
20mm
22mm
25mm
40mm
44mm
44,2mm
44,5mm
45mm
Spring Diameter
Maximum outer diameter: 99mm (89mm for the smaller 110mm air cups).
Minimum inner diameter: 61mm (57mm on request).
There might be a code on the spring indicating the inner diameter, such as 61,
62, or 65 for ID61, ID62, and ID65mm springs, which are all fine! For example,
"62-200-008" means it has an inner diameter of 62mm.
Ride Height
In most cases the air cup will take between 20 and 30mm of height. The stack height of the air cup itself is 20mm but with most coilovers the top hat comes on top of the air cup, this will take around 10mm. If there is enough thread left on the coilovers to lower the springs, it won't be a problem. If not, you will need to install shorter springs.
Spring Adjustment
The lift from the air cups requires droop / rebound from the coilovers. If you don't have enough droop, the air cups can't lift the full 50mm. The damper strut simply will top out before achieving the full lift. If you're using the standard spring rates that came with your coilovers, it should be fine. If you're using higher spring rates we recommend to use helper springs to get the full lift.
Какво е DROOP?
Droop, also called rebound, is basically the amount of travel you have between ride height and full extension. Too much preload will decrease droop, we recommend to set a minimal preload. If you're using extreme high spring rates, higher than the original rates that came with your coilovers, the weight of the car won't compress the springs enough to create enough droop. This problem can be solved by installing helper springs, these will create enough droop for the air cups to lift.
