Hello! I have a '01 LS430 UL with 50k miles on it. I feel fortunate that the air suspension still works well on the car. I want to lower the car and I was wondering if using the air ride controller could potentially cause premature wear and tear on the air suspension. Thanks in advance!

If you constantly drive lowered, then yes it will prematurely wear your air suspension.

 

^^^what he said. I drive with 2" gap all around and then when I park, I just slam it. Lately though, I've been thinking of selling my controller and just going with coilovers (and eventually put another air system) because I like the way the car looks LOW.

 

What and why please.

 

i drove around most of the time with mine on the lowest setting and a year later i had 1.5 air struts failing. so i think it quickly ages the air suspension the more stress (lower) you have it.
