Default Suspension is off balance, lowring module??

I have an 04 Ultra Lux LS430 with the air suspension and thegap between the fender and front wheels in the front of the car is almost 4" higher than the rear. IT is very ugly and IMHO needs to change immediately. I was wondering if anyone knows of a lowering module for my car and if so can you point me in the right direction. I want to possibly lower the vehicle or at least fix the ride hight. I went to the dealership today and looked at 2 other Air Suspension LS430s and they sit the same way. It is ugly and not my cup of tea, I didn't seem to notice this when I purchase the vehicle, I don't know how?? But I need it fixed. Input greatly appreciated.

Have you thought about using an aftermarket air system controller ?

Im on my second car w/ this system and works great. A used one can be had for a good price then you just have to buy a new wiring harness for your car. New controllers are pricey and have to many functions when most folks just use the up and down feature.

Can you talk about this more as I am very interested in the system, I heard over in Japan they make several modules that are available. I just don't know how to get a hold of one. Let me know, thanks I am also contacting Wald for some other goodies and will be speaking with them about this also. Thanks

Yes your right they have several....... they all kind of do the same thing.

I can get a used controller from someone who has crashed / parting out a car or bought one but didnt drop his car as much as he wanted so he bought cans (this happens all the time).

I did this for another CL memeber last year his controller was very nice newer model and the harness in great condition.

It took about a month to find one but the deals can be had. unless you want to spend $350 - $390 or so for a new controller and another $110 for the harness.

When I park my car I always dropped to its lowest height and when I drive its set at 1 finger front and back.

Correction, this thread was moved to the correct sub-forum with a redirect link in the LS400/LS430 forum so it will get just as much if not more responses/feedback. You're quite welcome BTW.

I'm not the most knowledgeable, but I believe in Japan they can re-chip your ride height controller so the car sits lower. Maybe you can PM GS4Will, he is usually able to get japanese aftermarket parts for good $$.
