i wonder why mine doesnt tuck under the fender well. feel free anyone to correct my notion about this. i think when your car is turned on there is like a leveling sensor with the air suspension, which means it will level out to the ground and weight of the people.

Too bad you coudln't lower it like that..

It looks good, but not really useful. Maybe a bad air strut.

Somewhere around $600 to fix at the cheapest..

Looks like you need new air strut. Front A/S is at least $650 each.

Dude,

One of my buddies had the same problem. The compression inside the struts has gone bad. He found a good deal for a used air struts (same year) at a junk yard. I thinks it's about $190.00 for both struts (Left & right). So go out there (not to a Lexus dealer) and search. Try the Yahoo yellow pages for a start.

Good Luck

If you really want to get used ones. try www.car-part.com. I think most of the AS problem can be fix.
