It's a nice ride heiight but its also a pain in the behind because i live in new your and the streets here are really bad, i literally have to come to an almost dead stop when im turning corners to avoid damaging the undercarriage of my car.... The hardest part about it is driveways to gas stations and restaurants and that kind of stuff, we use a method that we call " sideways " where we literally have to approach the incline sideways to avoid the bottom touching... a friend of mine destroyed the running board on his 98 LS400 the first day he dropped it not realizing that his car is too low to approach an incline straight forward.....

yeah I agree now, I've actually raised the rear a little to compensate.

you could use the ride control module with your car because yours has air suspension

Ok, I'm new to the LS430, are you guys saying that you don't need lowering springs if you have the air suspension and only want to drop the car about and inch?

Am I catch'n what you're throw'n at me?
