Default sport suspension vs. UL.

Hello

I have an 01 LS w/ sport susp. I have been told that I can't get an 05 w/ sport susp and the custom lux pkg. My car does exactly what I want it to. I have driven 05's w/ std susp w/17" and 18"
wheels and they are definately not me. I have driven 05 UL w/ 18" wheels and I'm not sure.

Whats parts and pieces will I need to make a cust lux car into what I want?
Or will I be happy with a UL?

Thanks

I have a UL and am very happy, I like the air suspension as I get the best of both worlds, a nice highway ride, or flip the switch to "sport" and get a better handling car. Plus you can do what I did and buy a ride height controller and lower the car whenever you choose. This way you can have it all..

the UL has the air suspension, it's on the soft side.

maybe you can get the UL and then put on some coilovres? now i haven't gotten any confirmation yet, but somehow on tein's site, it says that the tein cs will fit on the ls430 with air suspension. i don't know how that works?

Thanks for your replies.

I pick my new LS Ultra tomorrow. I guess I'll just have to make due.
