i and those that did the air runner demo ride at the Vip Festival in Samsons ls430 can tell you that they are surprised how smooth the ride is. Watch this recent video air runner did when we were in cali. Samson rides his ls430 air runner on the ground kit like that all the time.

Thanks for all the input and help guys.
I've been talking to Nat and Brian about suspension and all that jazz. Appreciate the awesome help from you guys!
I think for now I'll do the PS module (it still hasn't come in yet - probably tomorrow or Monday), get wheels and aero and once the car is looking decent, then I'll move onto an Air Runner set up.
I'm hoping the car will be sitting pretty come March. It's still snowing and -20ish here. Until then - I gather parts.

I'm still looking around, but I'm a big fan of Wald and Aimgain right now.
I'm playing around with mixing some stuff around - but I just have to make sure when the kit is on, it's all level with each other otherwise it'll look weird.
I really do like the Wald sideskirts. As for the bumper/lip and rear, I am still brainstorming
As I come up with ideas, I usually photoshop them and I'll post them here

yea those are the two brands I'm looking at but not really sure. If you have any hook-ups on prices let me know! lol! I know a guy in Japan that can buy the parts for me and ship it here but shipping might cost too much to try and save money..hehehe

Got some time to install the PS nav/dvd bypass today. Took about an hour. The radio unit was the biggest pain to remove, but all went well in the end. I'll be installing the air controller probably at the end of the month when I have more time!
The package.
First thing’s first – remove the side panels. Cake.
Remove the center console area. Cake.
Center console out.

This was where it got frustrating. The radio unit was in there good and it took a good half an hour for me to pull it out. You had to wiggle your hand in the back and pull a little corner in the front to get it out. But you needed one hard pull in order for it to work or else it didn’t even budge. My fingers feel busted. The back barely had any room, I feel sorry for anyone with big hands because there was no way that would’ve come out.
Here’s the pain in the *** piece that finally came out.
Nav piece out.
Now was the time to take the module and wire it together and plug it in. Nice little piece.
The back of the nav system with all the wires. I ended up plugging it in and wired it nicely. Everything went back within 5 minutes.
I ended up wiring it right near my leg so it was easy to just push. I’ve seen a lot of guys wire it near the heated seat controls and on the opposite side of where I did so it’s laying on the console but I wanted it to be nice and clean.
Popped in 2 Fast 2 Furious and the Scarface preview came on lol. Works like a charm! All in all, took about an hour. Can’t wait to install the air controller now!

Update: Just got off the phone with an Air Runner rep and he mentioned that there's no difference with installing aftermarket air on LS's with aftermarket air. All that needs to be done is to remove the bags as as if they were regular struts and then to remove the fuse for the compressor.
The only issue is that you'd get the light on the dash for it.
Hmm..

Ended up placing the order for SSR Merisia's today. Possibly the first set of 21" in North America according to SSR.
SSR USA only lists up to 20"
Should be here in 3-4 months.
Photoshopped them onto the LS.

nice choice. Have you seen there new line SSR Executor CV01. I had to a chance to see them up close and personal at Sema and they are gorgeous. These may be my next set of wheels.

Yes I did a few weeks back during Sema a bunch of pics came out and I thought they looked awesome. Kind of remind me of ADV1's without the ridiculous price.
I'm a fan of the big split five spokes for the LS's because it matches the size of the car. Similar to your LH Friedens, Maverick 405s and these wheels.
The CV01 and even CV02 would look killer on your car I'm sure.
