thanks you guys!heres some pics.
All up?in this pic,its at around 130psi all around.just enough to make it over huge *** speed bumps.
ride height
. not as low as i wanna drive but,im having the same problems i had with my old GS.damn front upper control arms keeps hitting. Front 90psi rear 70-75psi
all down.wanna go lower though.need to adjust the mounts.
the ride is kinda stiff and a bit bouncy.even with low pressure in the bags.i still need to experiment with the dampening and the bags mount position.
oh and a big thanks goes out to the guys at 1320 Performance for working on my car!much mahalos to Matt,Russ,Chad,Ross and Avery!thanks for helping me have the first bagged LS430 on Maui!
more pics coming later on today.i need to get to sleep.

I know there's a way to modify the megan coilovers to sit a bit lower but I forgot who did it, I'm not sure if merkedls did this, maybe he can chime in.
How much more adjustability do you have on your megans? can you still lower it more from all the way up and have it more low than the last pic.. take a pic of where it's hitting thefront upper arms, I only thought the 2nd gen gs only had this problem..

if lower the rear a little more go a tire size down and add a small spacer,i can claim tsuraichi status!but im okay with the fitment for now.
