i guess the lowness is just a japan thing, socal and my thing. i think its just an influence thing. i grew up around low riders and dumped cars everywhere. thats probably why i like they way it is. im not an expert though, its just my thought.

Isn't this common hot rod stuff. raise it up with the push of a button to drive around and then drop it for show.

wow...some of you guys are really uninformed.

the car was obviously dumped specifically for the shoot to show people the range of the system.

the car is obviously not driven like that.

Default 430 and 300, or just the 300?

Any more information available on this Air Runner system?

Will it be available for the '06 GS430 or just the GS300 as shown in the pictures?

I dunno, I happen to like that look. And as for the problem of scraping over bumps and inclines, that's what air suspension is for.

If anything, the whole purpose of an air sus is to make the photos taken of the car look cool for the magazines.

As a previous owner of an airrunner Aristo, I can tell you that I have zero use for that suspension other than slamming it to 0 inch from the ground for shows and meets. On daily basis, I leave the height higher than what I had it with coilovers....

By the way, airrunner rides exactly like stock, if not better.
