every suspension set up has some problems, but I think the benefits of airbags greatly outweigh the sparce problems incurred. The ES looks awkwardly high (imo) even after drop springs have been installed. The only viable option for me (if I were to own a ES) would be coilovers or bags, and I would like the option of hitting a button right before I enter a steep driveway or what have you, and raise the car up enough that I dont scrape... Plus the ES has a slight VIP resembalence when on bags and classy wheels.

and btw- Din has never told me about any problems with his canovers, and has had pretty much nothing but praise- even on the air bag discussion on vipstylecars.com's forum. ??? so that is strange.

no one has problems with the strut themselves.. just valves, compressors, lines, etc which makes it not worth it, to me anyway

MRLEXUS, your car is coming together well, it's easy to see the effort you're putting in to make it stand out.

Continue to mod the ES to YOUR taste, as long as you're satisfied with the result that's all that really matters.

Cool

I'll just never get over the video posted about the ES with air suspension. hahahahaha

I'm gonna laugh the day I see a video of someone doing a 3 wheel stance on tires that can't support the weight of the car. POP!
