Base and Modern lux vehicles come with the normal shock absorber\strut type suspension. Ultra lux comes with Air bag suspension as standard. Custom Lux has the normal shock\strut suspension, but apparently could be ordered with the air bag suspension option from the Ultra model.

For US cars, air suspension was only available on the Ultra.
Air suspension was an option on LS400's but 430's only had it in the Ultra.

I'm a newbie on here so you'd know better than I. I was just going by the pricing lists at
http://www.lexus.com/contact/model_s...ricing_ls.html

I've heard of air suspension on non US cars, however.
