That's a pain in the a$$, IMO. Particularly if you forget!

Yeah that’s true but usually people who are bagged air out when they’re parked, like in some of these photos, but when they start driving, they air up.

Looks great but completely impractical for a daily driver. Different strokes for different folks.

I'm real new here, but this topic is of interest to me. Hopefully no one minds if I chime in. Over the years, I've owned mostly European cars. I modified the suspension on every one of them. I plan to get a new ES 350 and intend to lower/modify it because it think it sits a bit too high. Also, in my opinion, the handling could be improved. While the above car looks amazing and probably serves a specific purpose, I think it's too low. The tucked look reminds me of the tuner cars that are not practical for street use. I don't think most people buy the ES to use as anything other than a street car. Dramatically lowering a street driven car actually impedes handling and ruins the ride. I know, because I've done it. I'd like to get the wheel specs on the above car. To me, the factory ES 350 F Sport wheel and tire combo is too narrow for such a big car. Thanks.

I use my car as a daily driver so l don't want to go that low. So I lowered mine on lowering springs its not slammed but looks allot better than stock.

Are you on rsr downs? I was considering that but don't want to sacrifice the smooth ride. I know you probably get a stiffer ride but is it feel every rock kind of a ride?

Default Rsr

Yes I'm on rsr downs. Ride is not bad at all. Think the low profile tires made ride a little more rough (I'm on 245x35r 20in.)but it's not really that bad.

I daily my car, I put over 2k miles a month on my car maybe more since it’s the car my wife also uses it. Once you go air suspension you’ll never wanna go back
