I am with you but I figured it was because I am old. I recall the low-riders from yore and many were ruined when a hydraulic or pnuematic line broke while going down the road... *shrug*

Wow that is amazing, love how low it is but that must be a pain in the *** to drive around especially turning like others have said.

I'm going to go the opposite direction and get a 6" lift kit for my GS. Who needs an RX 350 when I can drive an AWD GS350!

Wow, interesting!

As far as the turning questions, I "ASSUME" it's on air, so at ride height he just airs it up and can turn just as well as an unmodified GS4. Same thing goes w/ speed bumps, curbs etc.

If this isn't on air, and you are using coilovers, I too want to know how your getting around lol.

To everybody saying it's not drive able or functional it's on airrunner air suspension so it has every bit of function your stock GS has at whatever ride height I want. I had to cut out the sheet metal above the upper control arms for clearance to get the last inch of low. Wheels are rotiform ind 19x10. Thanks for all the compliments and yes I know I ruined a brand new car..

They don't lay frame. They are about an inch higher than my car. I have the same setup as them but custom fabricated a set of top hats and did a lot of cutting and notching that they haven't done. So they don't lay frame. Close though.

i'm going to go out on a limb and say that the car is bagged... don't think he drives around like that unless his destinations are strictly straight line driving with no turns. i like it for what it is. he's going for slammed and he achieved it.
