Default height sensor adjusting on ul(air suspension) ls?

there where some talk on the board, about adjusting the height sensor on the car to lower the suspension. I know there is the controller option but I prefer not to add anything after market to the car. I would like to go a few inches lower for the summer and want to adjust this sensor. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I posted a pic for reference.

Yes, I do think it is possible to lower the air suspension buy adjusting the link from control arm to sensor..
I have a 2002 LS430 UL that I am going to try it with once our weather get's a little warmer here in Ohio.
I have looked at this adjusting link and it seems like you would loosen the nut and move it up or down?? although I don't know if adjusting the nut up will make the car go down or adjusting nut down will make the car go up??
I do know that before I would make any adjustments I would mark the current settings.


Thank you
Mike
