Yes, Smoky Nagata from Top Secret Japan has been using Roberuta for years now. Usually find them on all his crazy project cars. Operates like a true coilover suspension, yet having the added height adjusability is a nice bonus.

Similar in function to the KW HLS system, however, this one has a pressurized tank for air, where I believe the KW system does not utilize a tank.

They are very expensive if you purchase them from TS with the Arogosta coilover suspension. Roberuta will make them to their spec though, so if you do not have an asian built coilover system this may be the best route to go.
The cups fit between the top hat and the spring. Need to know the diameter of the strut rod and the spring.
http://www.umbrellaautodesign.com/ also has a kit very similar, and are easier to contact because they are an American based company.
I have been trying to find more information on these cup kits, and have found a couple different vendors in Japan, but Umbrella seems like the only vendor in the states with a similar quality.
If anyone has one of these I would love to bounce some questions off of you

We have a customer with the Roberuta kit, the initial charge takes a little bit time to function. Overall it works well, a little noisy at start up when the pump is running.

My friend has this on his custom widebody G35. Excellent piece IMO. He has had no complaints and his carbon lip looks as good as it did on the day he had it installed.

About a year ago I bought KW lift kit for a 997 TT and completely ruined the performance of the car compared with the Techart Bilstein coilovers I also got a TERRIBLE KW customer service and they didn't returned my money.I returned to the TA coilovers and perf was very good again.
I will NEVER buy any KW product they SUCK!!!!!!!
