Suspension Differences? Air and No Air
Hey guys,
Quick question - just wanted to clear it up for those with stock air suspension who has (or hasn't) swapped out for aftermarket air.
The mounts and everything else are the same for both Air and Non-air models, correct? So a coilover made for a 460 would fit a 460L with no issues?
To my knowledge, the 460L basically just has bags and a sensor but share the same top and bottom mounts.
Thanks!

May want to start here and stare and compare with the exploded parts view. This is for a 460L..they have seperate pages for front and rear parts and the show the non air setup and then below the oem air setup

Rear http://www.trademotion.com/parts/200...R%20SUSPENSION

Visually - they look the same. The bags and springs are the only difference along with the cups. I'm more interested in the top and bottom mounts lining up but I can't imagine that being different since it's really just an option to add on if you wanted it.

That is enough confirmation for me then. I realize that I could've gotten non-air but finding an LS in the first place is difficult! lol
Either way, now I can rest assured that I shouldn't have issues installing.

Good point to remember. Matter of fact, here in GA when looking for my L, all I found were non air LWB models. It was frustrating because I was just good with doing the module on oem air since I am still under CPO. And to your point, about people who plan to go aftermarket air, just buy an LWB non air...can't lose either way in that scenario. Seeing all this cars with bagged out suspension is really making me want to get a car as a daily just do this. Like a 98-05 GS or something..or even a LS400 if I can find a clean one in good shape..those things are solidly built tanks still today
