Default air ride controller instructions

hi guys, i'm new to the forums...

i just finished installing my R-Spec Data System Air Ride Controller, and i got it to slam my 01 LS...problem is that i know there's more to the controller than just lowering the car, but i cant read japanese...does anyone know if there's any english instructions online, or if someone is able to state how to do different procedures for the unit???

also, for those of you with the controller, what ride settings do you use for the street??? is it bad to use superlow mode too often? (right now the car's ride height is set to 7 all around on the controller)...

any tips/pointers greatly appreciated...thanks!

the controller and harness comes with japanese instructions...the pictures explain it all, and it's a very easy and straightforward install...the hardest part for me was getting the wood trim and a/c vent above the glovebox off- there's two tabs in the vent that you have to release to get the assembly to slide forward...after that, just a matter of bolts here and there to get the glovebox out, and then easy access to the wiring where you attach the harness...

everything is plug and play...

and for now, i just left my controller in the glovebox...i cant think of a good place to mount it...

1SILVERGS3, where did you mount yours???
