Default Air Suspension question, someone please help

First, I'd like to say I searched for well over an hour. So if you are going to respond please search, instead of doing that, can you post an actual link. Every suspension thread has Pure Drifter saying please search, and they thread generally ends afterwards, with none of the questions really being answered.

So I have a First Gen LS400, its my beater, but since I sold my TT supra last week, I am forced to drive this. In an attempt to spice it up a bit, I put some Borbet wheels on it, cut the two front resonators out, added HID's, but my main problem right now is the factory ride height. It sits way to high. I know my one option is to covert the air suspension to shocks/springs, but for a beater I am looking at almost a grand. And that comes with stock springs, so that would take even more money, and on top of that, I think I will have warning lights or something because the suspension is removed. Is this true?

My other option is a air suspension controller. This is my best bet, however I can't find anyone who actually has one for the UF11, and installation instructions, because they come in Japanese, from what I hear, and my Japanese is a bit off at best So can anyone point me in the direction of a Ride height controller, and can anyone point me in the direction of English directions or anything to help other then search?

I saw that, I did not know if I needed a harness to it, or it was everything I needed, so I messaged them, they never responded, and now the auction ended. So whatever I went out and bought a 98 supra TT, so the lexus is my beater again.

*sigh*

karma has bit me in the butt!

what year is your UCF10?

Turns out the harness in this auction is for '90-'92 air sus ecus.

And seeing how I have a '93, I will need a different harness.

Check your AirSus ECU.

If it is a 89293-50010, then you're good to go.

If it is a 89293-50050, then you're in the same boat as me.
