Any of the fellows here know the answer to that?

I usually like the rear to be slightly higher than the front. I hate having a saggy a$$

That's cool.

Gathering from this thread, I "think" it would be a problem if you would drive it slammed

The saggy *** is a given. We'll all get it when we're 50 or 60 or whatever the age of senior citizen is considered.
Actually, since we all drive the LS, I think it hits us sooner

I think we're all confused. My question/answer was for samplzone actually asking about being unsafe if it's driven with the 5-6 setting.

Hey guys sorry for the lack of experience on factory air suspensions, but can you set as mentioned "L" to drop from the factory computer or do you need a module to adjust the UL's? I have lived with a 10 switch box on most of my past cars this is high tech stuff!

You know once you have the bug --- you will NEVER stop modding


See just dont take the hit, keep the controler and the wheels and call it a day! since in my eyes you went semi-vip on the GS4, I think its time to go all the way on the LS, maybe a simple wald lip kit? better let an auto coutore kit to match the wheels !!

yes you'll need a controller box to drop the factory air bags....search for "datasystem"
