Default Factory air suspension !!

hey CL! i have a question, so ls430 with ultra package comes with air suspension right?

so if i swap them out to megan coilovers, what should i do with the factory air lines and compressor? take them out? or just keep them? i really want to remove them but i bet its really hard.
and im willing to do uas air suspension on coil over in the feature

also i heard that i need to take out a fuse for air compressor due to error lights on dash.

please guys let me know!!

I recently swapped my air setup out with Megan coilovers. I just left the lines alone and took out the fuse. I still have the Height Hi light on for some reason though.

Like you I do plan to do air on coilovers eventually. I wouldn't worry about the factory lines if you don't plan on going back to the original setup.

You're welcome!

I think I took out the right the fuse. My friend did all the work though, The light bothers me too since I've never seen anyone else have it happen.

cap them off somehow though, to avoid corrosion and excess garbage from road going into them...

Yeah, I definitely need to check again on that dash light. It's been bugging me lately.

You can check with Carson Toyota's aftermarket part website L-Tunedparts.com. I think they still sell the rare OEM rear lip and they can get a lot of rare stuff. You can message them here on the forums or give them a call. I usually contact to Luis Salazar whenever I need something.

Also check the classifieds section as well. A member just sold the OEM rear lip just recently actually. Keep in mind these body kit parts are insanely expensive, even for used pieces.
