appreciate the love fam! the fitment is a little sunk obviously cause of the weak width, but im sure if you got TE's a little more aggressive on this car it'd look amazing!

19's!

Also might as well make an update. Its been really short but its time to move on from my car. Sadly its a total loss. I barely got it where I wanted it to be but theres not much I can do now . Guys please be careful on the road while driving! Don't be the guy to ruin it all just cause you can't wait 5 seconds to yield a car (a driver hit me making a left turn on a yield green light while i was driving straight)

If anyones looking for air suspension, lmk! I have Airforce Struts and airlift autopilot V2 for sale, both are used for no more than 1000 miles. I'm willing to sell it CHEAP as well. Message me!
Parting out cause as you can see my car ^^^ is a total loss. The suspension (luckily) was completely untouched. Everything is good!

Hey guys, please don't shout. Just had a quick look through this thread & it really makes me want a 3rd gen instead of my 2nd gen 430.
I was thinking about a GS450 Hybrid.

Can you put air & wheels on the hybrid just as the non hybrid cars?
The answer probably is on here somewhere but I can't see it.

Thanks....

Yeah, at least a couple guys have installed air ride on their Hybrids. For example...SoCal 450h.

Well I kinda thought that but wasn't sure. I'm from northern Ireland, so I'm not well up on the member on here, but thank you for that.

Default Recommendations for air setup

Didn't want to start a new tread and please remove this post if it is in the wrong location but I wanted to get an idea if experienced people with air set-up would go the same route as they did. I am currently researching and trying to do it right the first time. I currently have BC Racing coils with the regular springs that came with them.

1. Since there are many products out in the market nowadays, which brand/type would you use?
2. Would you consider suspension cups (ie. Phantom)?
3. For daily driving which brand or combination of brands would you recommend?

Thanks in advance.
