Default Bagged my ES300h UL

Figured I would start a thread so its easier to spot for anyone looking at air suspension on the 7ES. The car is a '21 ES300h UL with the F sport front grills installed (can't stand non-F Sport grill)

- Airforce air suspension
- Airlift 3p management
- dual Viair 444c compressors w/ Accuair Endo CT tank. (the CT tank compressor failed, again... when accuair went bankrupt I could no longer warranty it and had to get viair compressors unfortunately)

So far it rides pretty smooth. Not quite as smooth as the UL suspension but I could probably adjust dampening and pressure I ride at to compensate some but I don't mind it.

Car was dirty but I was excited to see it done. It can go lower still as well, so I may need to do that in the future as well as find some wheels for it. Enjoy

That’s very low. It’s almost touching the ground.

What about speed bumps and driveways? Do you have to stop and elevate the car? I run into this all the time in my Corvette which has a clearance of around 4". I don't have air so I go at it at an angle...

That's why I went to the ES. I wanted the furthest furthest furthest corner I could find from the stance crowd. Generally they are attracted to the sub 5k used car market, your E36s, Civics, 350zs, old Infiniti G35s etc. In this forum though this is the first time I'm seeing a 7ES pop up with that stuff done to it. It's just one so I wouldn't worry yet.

Not the first such posting on the forum. Take a look at the Did a quick shoot of Canmar's ES! thread in April 2020.

You purists make me laugh. “Worry” as if it’s cancer… lol car is comfortable, very fuel efficient, low maintenance costs and fits my kiddo very well. I don’t like stock cars so here I am

Not about being non-OEM. it's about taste.

I love when owners make the car their own. A lot of people are stuck with the OEM look because of leases. Lexus ES buyers are getting younger so bye bye to the OEM styling. Again, I love the refreshed look and styling people have been posting.
