Default Hide Away Front Plate

I just found something that I think people would be interested in. If I do decide to swap my plates for HI plates. I am getting this hands down.

Cool device... but I'm curious as how that would work with guys that have front lips? Are you able to adjust how far it moves?

TBH, your front lip gets scraped the most out here, you'll probably lose your plates going over speed bumps or slanted driveways

Would be good to use when you stick up the local banks... Just hide that bish, then roll out. Straight to the strip club... (j/k)

I know that my car is pretty damn low, i wonder how thick that is. It looks like it would fill half the gap I have right now.

But...I found this in the market place that I am definitely going to buy. My next purchase. This will solve all my problems. I wish I had found it sooner, It would be on my car. I think with the both of these together it will work.



This is the Top Secret Front and Rear Roberuta Cup Kit.

"Roberuta is famous from their Ferrari products in Japan. Roberuta Cup Kits are an electronically controlled height adjustable system that fits directly on top of your coilover. They are NOT hydraulics or airbags. They do NOT suffer from the same limitations and performance reducing issues as hydraulic systems or air bags. We use the complete system on several of our competition vehicles.

Imagine being able to raise or lower your vehicle's ride height at the touch of a button. Steep driveways, flatbed tow trucks, and jacking up your vehicle with a standard jack all become effortless. Lowering your vehicle to the absolute maximum for your next car show is possible without readjusting your coilover at the show. Life becomes simpler and you can spend more time enjoying your vehicle."

Roberuta Cups have been designed to be compatible with coilover suspension kits designed by:
-Top Secret
-Aragosta
-HKS
-Cusco
-Kei Office
-Quantum
-Tanabe
-Bilstein
-Ohlins
-Tein

*Remote Control Units included.

Get this and all your JDM direct from Japan with RHDJapan!

There is another company that is cheaper. Their name is Air Force Suspension.



The Air Tank Cylinder System is a coilover upgrade set installed with a private cylinder on top of each coilover to control the raise and down of the coilovers.
With a air tank cylinder you can raise or drop your car in a range of
40mm - 60mm with a touch of button.

Like any other coilover upgrades, it improves handling performance by stronger suspension and lowering your car.
With the cylinder applied with the coilover, it does not affect the performance of the handling.

The great thing about this system is that in every coilover upgrade, and lowering car. The problem is to avoid many odd road conditions, such as parking lot bumps, basements, or pot holes. With a touch of a button,
you can raise up your car to max of 60mm to drive over these odd road conditions.

This system is fully Plug & Play, so you don't have to modified as the complicated hydarulic system.

The following is our Car-Fit list, and we are still trying to make more kits for other car models.Please email us, if you have any questions regarding to any car makes and models.
