Please let me know if you run into any issues with the bags mounted "high" on the struts compared to how BPVIP has his set up as seen below. His has tube spacers.

I'm waiting on my air ride package to arrive, which is similar to your setup (Aero Sport bags on BC coilovers). I also ordered the UAS billet upper mounts meant for the 2nd Gen GS (same bolt pattern on upper mounts based on a crude comparison by puting my old GS strut against the BC coilovers for the LS460) to try out and replace the BC top mounts.

If it doesn't work out then oh well, I'll be selling 2 sets of UAS billet mounts

And while we're at it, does your setup prevent the bag from spinning on the coilovers? Hence the reason why I want to try out the UAS billet mounts.

Rear seats are coming out... Struts should be in tomorrow. The rear seats are a PITA.











The ML amp...

Slowly but surely... Lines are run. Had some modifications done to the rear bag so that the air valve was moved to the top so that the air line could pass directly through the trunk.

Currently setting up the tank/compressors/VU4 and ECU and running the E-level sensors.



Perfect spot for the lines.


Up into the trunk

Thanks for taking the time to take all these pics of your build! It's going to be very helpful for when I start working on my LS460.

Looking good so far. Can't wait to see the finished product. How hard was it to remove the factory air struts? Do you need a special tool to remove them? Also do you know where the factory compressor is located?
