Default Wanting to lower my LS

What options do I have when looking to lower my vehicle? I've seen a few people with data control modules and some with springs. What is everyone using? Please post pics and tell me about the ride in comparison to the stock ride.

Assuming you have air i would recommend the Data control module, it's easy to install and doesn't affect the ride in "normal select"
In lower settings it will make the ride much harder.

Installing the module....


In the ashtray


High


Low

Ok cool! That looks to be a little more work than I'm willing to do personally. How much does the installation run?

I payed €650.-- for it, including shipping and taxes. (from Ebay)
Note: you don't have to take the car apart like i did, but i wanted to have the speed signal connected and i wanted to have the controller installed in my ashtray.
If you leave the controller in your glovebox you only have to remove the lower airbag on the passenger side and the glovebox. This makes installing the module much easier.
The module is plug and play. So you don't have to cut any wires.

How long would you say that it took to do the install from start to finish?

Installation is in Japanese but there are a ton of threads out there that show you how. This only works if you have factory air of course.
