That's what Accuair should have done with their I-level run it through Bluetooth instead of Wifi. By the way your setup looks good. I hope to have my air setup installed by the end of next week.

I still have 45psi in the rear bags at the height in the picture, meaning it can drop a little over 2 more inches in the rear if fully deflated. I have to adjust the LCA first though to get more camber. Right now if I lower it anymore the rims will smack the quarter panel

post pics when you have it installed man. I'd be interested in knowing what bag psi you feel comfy with. I've searched and haven't found a baseline for bag psi on the heavier LS430.

Ok so here are the different ride heights as promised. This is all the way up, the rears can actually go higher, but I wanted the car to be level.

And this is ride height. Hard to tell from the pics but it's almost 2" lower

And some more pics after I adjusted the rear so I could go lower. I can tuck about 2" or rim in the back now, but I thought it looked funny. So this is what I settled on for parked height

Beautiful setup!! Just got my airlift suspension installed as well! I'll post pics once camber and toe arms arrive so I can fit the new ADV-1 wheels. I'm curious to know what your wheels specs are as well if you don't mind sharing... Are your fenders just a simple shave with no pull?

you can do a search on my username to get all your answers. I've posted all the info at one time or another. I've long since forgotten the offset of the wheels and VIPModular doesn't stamp them on the back on the spokes. fenders are ROLLED and PINCHED flat. no shave, no pull.

Looks good! How did you get your fenders rolled and pinched flat without getting dimples?
