very very very annoying.
maybe this is what i was told by the autobox employee when i tried to buy one (dsc) in osaka back in january. i couldn't understand but half of his japanese but he kept saying that a lot of cars have issues w/ the controllers and end up going aftermarket air, now i can see why. but since i'm not making osaka money i can't just decide to do that on the fly...

so it was lower than that before right?? try to turn off the car, and turn it back on while holding down the upper left hand button on the controller, then hit the lower right hand button to make sure it is in 'super down mode' or whatever. try to put it on L and leave it be for like 4 minutes so it can set all the way down and then put it back up to 6 or whatever you had it on.

good thing I did some research about the stock air suspension before deciding to save more money to jump on a UL. really tho, I'm fine without a fridge and buying aftermarket air is better than having to deal with replacing my factory air struts and thats $$$$. Even with the controllers you still can't slam your ls, unless you get the youzealand drop kit.
i about to get the youzeland drop kit on stock UL w/ controller, in the coming weeks, can't wait. but yeah sometimes the controller get a little sticky and you have to play with it to get it to behave... try resetting it stackwell if your still having problems.
try holding down the upper left button on the controller when starting the car and make sure the backward looking 'C' ucf 30/31 is selected. also make sure your high button is not pressed (like someone else who had problems,,, GATO!!
), put it on like 5 let it settle turn it off, turn back on put it at like 7 let it settle, turn it off, turn it on and put on like 9 let it settle and turn it off, blah... put on L let it settle... gl

let me ask a question....before the data controller did you guys try lowering the car with the links in the front? this might make a difference.
if you did, put the links back to stock setting. If the links have been moved to lower the car previously it will confuse the sensors and probably try fighting the controller.
