Air suspension comfort vs normal vs sport
#61
I knew there was something functional about that height high button. I am notorious for pulling in too far when parking and scraping the bottom front. Definitely don't want to do this in whatever new car I finally purchase! Thought the parking sensors would help with this too, but nice to have this nugget of insight if I do end up purchasing the car I'm considering with air.

Hi Michele, it's great to see that you are pretty close to buying your dream car with air and AWD! I use the Height High setting while parking in most situations, since I always try to find an isolated spot next to the curb. Just remember that it can take up to 30 seconds for the car to reach the High setting, so activate it while you are searching for the best spot.

Having had both, it does feel like a different car. Its not something you experience on a test drive either, as you live with the car the extra refinement of the air suspension really comes across. The coil spring car rides great, don't get me wrong, but the air suspension really adds a layer of refinement, the air shocks insulate you even more from NVH, and the ride is so flat and glassy, its really nice.
My 400 and 430 had air, and there were many years separating my ownership of them and my first LS460, having had two LS460s one with coils and one with air, the differences really stand out.
So as one of the ones who denigrated the air suspension, I was wrong.

Read about the F-sport sway bars... I wonder.... did they make a sport version iin the 08 ? how to find out if those are beefier or worth upgrading to? I once saw some TOM sport japan spec bars that you install in the engine bay... wonder how that affects the handling...
