BTW,

If anyone has the HyperRev for the Celsior....there are some really cool suspension controllers for the air suspension. Several companies make them and you can set the height at each corner along with adjusting the damping on the shocks.

Any importers out there to get this stuff? HKS made a cool TEMS suspension controller for the MkIII Supra...years ago. I have this HKS controller on both my Supra's.

Like Dave said, there are full air suspension controllers available in Japan...Blitz, R-Spec, Hilltop, Field, etc... they all make 'em..

R-Spec supposidly has one out for the new LS430 but I have yet to see the unit...

Healerhand,

Looking at the service manual, I think you would want the wheels on the car as you adjust the height. My suggestion is this....I have these 6x6 blocks of wood in the garage that I use to place under tires when I have a car jacked up. I would place 4 of these blocks under all the tires...set the car down on the blocks......turn back on the auto ride suspension...then you would have room under the car to adjust each suspension rod. Take measurements before and during to see what happens.

LEx,

I am aware of that. I just have not had time to jack up my car and loosen the 4 screws. It very easy.
