driftworks may still be having a sale trying to clear out inventory but I just purchased these. The stanceworks cup kit is literally the same thing fortune auto was shilling.

https://www.driftworks.com/front-air...s-chassis.html

The price was just a hair over 2000 shipped. I got cups for all 4 corners and controls to lift the front and the back of the car separately. and picked my own springrates. did 9k up front and 8k in the back.

Thats about half of what fortune auto was charging. The only reason I didn't just buy the cup kit is my JIC FLA T2's are like 18 years old and the spherical top hat bearing in the rear is toast. Plus I think it's time to just flat out replace them since I cannot get them serviced.

Worst case scenario they don't work or a line fails they go back to just being normal coilovers. does not change how they function at all. And you're not supposed to drive with these aired up. Just for obstacles.

oh i know that its pretty much an ability for the car to go on its "tippy toes" for a sec to go over bumps/driveways. Its temping because the coilovers are essentially free in that deal

When I picked up the JIC S14, I had spoken to Jon at length and he mentioned servicing and rebuilding coilovers regularly.

I can send him a text and see if he still does this.
