FINALLY INSTALLED MY DATA CONTROLLER!!! *pics*
i didn't adjust any rods or sensors and i have mines set on 9 driving at slow speeds around the city, 7 on slightly higher speed roads, and 5 on highway commuting. i only have stock wheels so maybe this is why my lower setting is cool to drive on.
It's not as quick as actual bags cause those usually have bigger air tanks. It takes 5mins or lil bit longer to lower with the data controller.

good question slownslow, it usually takes a couple minutes to lower itself down to the lowest mode which is "L" but i'm usually sitting on setting 7. As of right now, i think i've figured out that you can be moving and the controller will still lower the car ... at least i THINK SO.. please do correct me if i'm wrong.
So far everythings working amazing, just can't wait till i get my summer oem chromeys on and my lip.. will take lots of pics to show you guys once its done!!
CLUB LEXUS RULEZ!! LOL

As Hybrid has mentioned, you'll learn to lower and drive at the same time. I'm usually at setting 5 to 7, so the time it takes to lower it more is much less. I can time it as I pull into my work parking lot and its a straight shot, I can drop it at the entrance and by the time I park, it will be dropped. DO NOT turn off your engine while its still lowering. I believe this cause problems in some others cars. The Datasystem controller is sending a command to the air suspension, interrupting it may cause some goofy effect later on.

You can use the level screen and look for the simulated tires to stop blinking or I think an easy to see is the "valve" screen. You can see the arrows moving.

looking clean......man.
I drive on 9 front and 8 rear and not on backard C....I use the 01-03 setting.....this is for everyday driving both highway and street....
I bit bouncy, but im use to it.....
I too wonder if I adjust the rods as low as possible maybe I can now run like a 5,6 or 7 and still be as low as I was but no bounce
......just dont wanna jack anything up

looks good...I like the front lip....same lip I used to have, from the pics...it looks like you should go lower on the rear.....lower looks cleaner in my opinion....but only thing is...more negative camber.....faster wear on the inside....
