Only the ones with the Ultra Luxury package have air suspension.

Default More knowledge about air suspension

I am planning to get the LS430. Curious...with the air controller from Carson Toyota, you are able to lower the car to the ground? Also, other members if you have any insites...how is it on your suspension? Is there any stress on the frame, lower ball joints, how is the wear on the tires, alignment, and can 20x8.5F w/35 offsets & 20x9.5R w/35 offsets fit-(especially any rubbing issues)? If I get this ride I want to make sure when parked I can slam it with out losing ride comfort or rims smacking the rear fender in the long run? Your thoughts?

i park mine slammed..but set it to normal riding height..( a little lower on the front ) when i drive around.

no issues whatsoever except that it is not like air runner where you can slam it right away, the unit takes a good 1-2 minutes to lower itself because it does it one tire at a time.
