The car has 25k miles.

This is my first Lexus and thus would like to seek some advice from you seasoned forum members:

1. Should the maintenance of this car be the same as a regular LS 430?
2. Does anyone know what kinda power the car makes with the supercharger? It feels awfully fast and a lot more responsive to my BMW 645i.
3. The ride height is higher than I would like. Any recommendation on how I can lower this sensibly?
4. Any advice on how to adjust the clock?

Thanks in advance on looking forward to be part of this community..
1. same
2. 354 hp
3. Data systems controller ASE 680 http://l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=1633
4. no Aftermarket tools found

Mods are a dream, costs half the used car, e.g. BBK 8k$, TOM's > 10k$
