All I know is what Busa mentioned above. Maybe he learned from experience. The suspension will react in real time..the only way the air suspension will work is when the car is running. I have not personally done this at all yet, so crawl before you walk and I suggest using the guidance already provided to be on the safe side. Besides, the data controller cable is plenty long enough..if you can get on a drive on ramp like alignment rack style, you can feed controller down to under car and make adjustments and observe the changes occurring in the system real time..

Hey Everyone,
Does anyone have any experience with adjusting the ride height of the factory air suspension equipped LS's by adjusting these brackets below the car? Yottabyte spoke about this, but I cannot seem to find more information on this. For those that have done it, can you share your experience on how you can lower the normal ride height with these?

I had this posted in the Air Suspension 101 thread, but since it is buried in the thread, I was hoping to get some more eyes on it and I will add this thread back into the 101 thread if anyone can add helpful info..thanks!

From what it looks like - the first two pics (which looks like the front), you have to loosen that bolt and turn that piece counter (or) clockwise.
The last two pics look like you loosen the bolt and move it up or down.

I looked into other things to make this easier and when I went to my bike guy, he reminded me about the lowering links I used on the Hayabusa before I got air rde. Its picture below. Its an actual turnbuckle that adjusts the height of the bike. Something like this would be great.

+1 on that. If you have no idea of what youre doing of have no mechanical skills, please dont try to mess with this. As I stated before, a minor adjustment on this will cause a major adjustment on the suspension so if you choose to do it your self, take it in small incriment.

Just an update to this:
You can visit my blog for a more instructional write up... but here's the good stuff. Keep in mind, this is only the rear for now - I didn't have time to do the front.

The sensor on my passenger side rear.
I decided to just drop it all the way down and make my adjustments that way. It's easier to tell if it did something or not this way
After. I got about an inch or 3/4 of an inch more of a drop
The other side
I will tackle the fronts tomorrow and keep everyone posted.
