Refurbish the stock air suspension, then get an air ride controller. Best option IMHO if you already have the stock air suspension.

honestly man, ur new here and im going to say this relatively gently.

PLEASE SEARCH.

most topic you've posted up a question about has been THOROUGHLY covered on this forum in the past so theres no need to go and make a new thread on it unless you've already SEARCHED on the question/topic multiple times and have some NEW/Original questions/info/answers/etc...


the OEM air susp. is very costly to repair/refurbish if using OEM parts, OEM Lexus air struts are upwards of $1,000 EACH (that means times 4) so your best bet is to go to Arnott industries for their aftermarket replacements which iirc have lifetime warranties

$10,000? For that amount, you could get into a decent 2LS and have money for coilovers by selling your 91.
