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.

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.
