LOL. Sorry, it's Monday. Well I know for sure we threaded the rears down about as far as it would go since they were way too high out of the box. I think we ended up with 4.25" measuring the exposed thread from the lower top collar to the bottom lock ring.

good work man! i didn't know your car had air suspension to being with. always curious as to where the tank and compressor are placed by toyota, probably under the car out back somewhere.

it could be that the air suspension leveling height sensors are tied in with the headlight aiming as well. did you mess with the height sensors again? i recall you did mod something in the past to trick the air suspension to go lower.

Sort of. I mean we took those little arms off (sorry, don't know the correct term) that were previously connected to the height sensors while leaving the sensors and wiring in place. My idea is to just go back under there and either unplug or remove all 4 and see what happens.

I actually did find the compressor...it's tucked behind the bumper under the wheel shroud; I left all that intact as well.

So, since I was back under there today I was determined to stop this "headlight aiming" nonsense once and for all by unclipping any existing wiring from the air/coil-over swap. FAIL! That didn't work. Then I removed the drivers' side headlight unit and behind it was another large (20 amp?) fuse labled "air sus". Thought that was my "a-ha" moment; pulled it and - FAIL again...not only did the warning light NOT go off - it activated another one so I put it back. Fresh out of ideas
