Hey man, the car drove great. I drove it on level 2 or 3 on the controller and it felt great, but I have smooth roads out here where I live. I took the wheels off for the time being until I can get the bigger size tire with better load rating..should be this week or next I guess.

Ok because I'm still on the fence deciding whether or not to install this option on mine.

I installed the controller in less than 30 minutes, the instructions I received from another member here on CL literally hand holds you through the entire process. The panels and clips come off very easy and complete plug n play makes it that much easier.

I finally have my memory settings from normal setting all the way around to about level 7 front and 5 rear when I go to meets or just to look cool ..the AWD setup prevents the front from dumping vs non AWD models. I have it sitting in my glove box for now, but I like the pics I have seen with it in the ashtray..but I prefer to keep it out of sight.

I enjoy the ride comfort of this car too much to drive it around low, so for daily driving I keep it at about 1 or 2 front and 1 or 0 rear..I'm all about maxxing out tire life and try to keep the struts in good health..just having the flexibility to raise and lower the car is pimp enough for me lol. I say do it, you won't be disappointed. I was surprised at how fast it adjusts..folks say it is slow, but from 0 to about 6 or 7 usually takes about 90 seconds or so..no joke.

glad you are enjoying that beautiful car. With the air suspension and the module you really have the best of both worlds. You can have your cake AND eat it too

Data System, in my opinion, should be the very first mod that anyone does to an air susp equipped LS...period!! The flexibility to ride stock on the daily grind to preserve tires and slam it down for meets, shows or just ridin low is piiiiiimp

Well, well, well....CJITTY is now a bigtime baller!
Just having fun but congrats on the new to you car.
I'm glad you tried out the staggered wheels as it just isn't the same without.
I know, I've been there.
Again, congrats!

whats funny is a few months ago when the tech were still trying to find out what was wrong with my LS with the vibrations I was about to pull the trigger on a burgundy 460L, but held off. My wife thought it was weird that I would want the exact same car again but I told her the LS is the best in my book over all. I think CJITTY made a great choice. The 600hl is BOSS

I was messing around with my air suspension data controller tonight. Finally decided to see what it would look like in Super L mode (lowest setting)..here are some quick pics...I wish I could drive it this low but I know that can't be good lol !!!
