I'm planning on getting the StanceParts setup myself and saw on their page they talked about possibly not getting the full 2" of lift on stiffer springs without helper springs.

What spring stiffness are you running? I'm on 8k/6k Tein he's and was going to go 10k/8k so I could go lower and not worry as much about making bacon fenders, but I know I'll need all 2" since my headers and exhaust already hang pretty low.

i have 8k fronts. Adding the cups will raise your car almost an inch. I went with 6 inch springs because I had 7 inch springs. Doing that made my ride height damn near what it was before i added the cups.

Thanks for all the insight. Can't wait to get these. Homeowners association put a new speed bump literally about 20 steps from my driveway on one side and 20 steps on the other (HOA pres lives across the street from us and hates us and our cars). Going to be so nice to not have to ride hella high just to leave the house (and give him some nice 5 am 7k revs.)

Hate to dig up an old thread. But I’m hoping to hear from some of the OPs. I am currently looking into these setups and would like some feedback. How has the longevity been? Did you go with 4 cups or just 2 on the front. What brands are you using and do you recommend them?

Thanks!
