Modified Luxury and Exotics - Air Runner LS430 in this month's issue
Anybody get the Modified Luxury and Exotics magazine?
Nice writeup on air runner suspension on a nice looking LS430 in the May/June 2005 issue.
I'll try to get some scans or snap pics to share.

Snapped a couple of quick pics since my tech support (GF) is out of town to help me with the scanner. Was/am in a hurry so these aren't the best quality, just wanted to give you an idea what the LS in the mag looked like

EV ftw!!!
Yes, I have a subscription to the mag also. Excellent magazine.
You need to contact them, Dave to feature your car. I am sure they would be receptive to doing a write up on your car considering all the mucho dinero invested in it.

I'm sorry. I know to each his own, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, etc, but I think that looks absolutely retarded. It looks as if the car fell from a height of 50 feet and landed on all fours at the same time, and the wheels got jammed up under the fender. I just think its waaaayyyy too low. I'm all for lowering the car so the wheels are tucked to give an agressive look but geez thats just too much. I think it ruins the car.
If you want to do that to a Civic or something, be my guest, but a $70,000 luxury car? Whats next, a Maybach scraping the ground?
Same goes for all those jacked up pickup trucks driving around 30 feet off the ground! WTF?????????? Those dudes must have 2 inch dicks.

However, there are many that like it and feel that its an important part of "being VIP" - more power to 'em.

Its for SHOW they dont drive it like that.
Yes its NOT for everyone but how many times have you been to a car show and the car is NOT slammed. The guys with coilovers slam the car just for the show then raise it back up for daily driving.
I like the NEWR models slammed then OLD skool........

Remember another guy with about 10 TV's in his GS400? That's not normal either - it's done strictly for shows.

Unfortunately we have some ricers that still haven't grown up. Why do this to a $70k car. They can only re-sale this car to a ricer. Even pimp my ride show will NOT do that to a lexus but then again i might be wrong.

I have air on my car and w/ an air system controller I can lower it alot. Its NOT slammed like the air runner. I like it lowered when my car is parked. There is no way i can drive like that cause the car sits on the tires.
I guess I dont want to grow up i still like alot of toys.......... BIG BOY TOYS!!

I just bought the mag yesterday, pretty nice looking LS.I like that color , too bad it's no longer available in Canada since last year.
I hate the "slammed" look with the car in it's lowest position though. Totally destroy the overall appearance of the car IMHO, I can never understand why people would want to do that even for display purpose
