Les Wong’s car is sooooper low. Unbelievably, undriveably low. Luckily, they have this thing called the Roberuta Cup. We got these sent to us from our friends over at Skipper Japan. It’s essentially air suspension for your coilovers. Take off the upper mount and insert it onto the spring. These fit right onto our ZEAL Function-Xs coilovers although the clearance up front is pretty tight and we had to increase preload.
That’s Les on the right and David Huang on the left. 2 of the nicest people around. Les also has the camoflauge RX-7 which I believe may have started a camoflauge microtrend with cars. This was at the VIP show last year.
Here’s Les’ next project. Notice how low the front portion of the side skirts are to the ground. And that’s with quite a bit of wheel gap.
Air suspension is cool for luxury, but here’s an alternative for the sporty cats. Theoretically, it’s supposed to keep that true coilover performance while giving you the ability to raise up. We’ll see how the ride feels as well as how high this thing raises once the compressor and tank are installed. This Roberuta Cup doesn’t actually fit our mold, but it may prove useful for certain situations. I’ll try and keep you updated on how this pans out..
