Use of Stanceparts air cups

My 2016 GTs is lowered on H&R lowering springs. I don’t think the ride height is “livable” long term with the amount of driving I am looking to do. Additionally, the insides of the rear fender wells are showing signs of rubbing.
Does anyone have experience with Stanceparts Air Cups. It looks like if installed on a factory length shaft, the base thickness of the Air Cups would gain me 20 mm in height and then the actuation of the lift would then give me 30-50 mm more for driveways and speed bumps.

Just front?

Is your kit just for the front? Are you planning to lower the front after you install the kit to accommodate the thickness is the “collapsed “ cups ?
I’m really curious how loud the pump.

Yes front only for now but I can easily upgrade later bcz I have the air tank, the springs I ordered are 15mm smaller bcz the aircups take up that space and my front is on max height and still doesn’t clear bumps, so I will not be lowering the front it will remain the same, it might be loud from the inside but very silent on the outside based on what I have seen on YouTube videos…. Will install them very soon and update
