Default New guy here needing some info/advise

Hi to you all. New guy here needing some info/advise. I am not an owner yet but expect that to be corrected in the next few weeks. I am shopping for a 04-06 LS 430. Needless to say with all the various option packages that were available on these cars I am a bit confused.
I am looking for a car that is well equipped but I am not sure if I want the air ride option.
I would like to hear from the owners of cars equipped with the air ride option. If I understand it correctly if the car has air ride it will also have a driver adjustable ride. Is that correct and is this a feature you guys really like? If so why? Is the sport suspension option different from the air ride? If so what does it consist of?
Thanks in advance for the info.
Bill

Air ride is included only on the ultra luxury level (all the goodies, including back seat stuff) in 04-06. The sport suspension is not the same and is only available as an option on the premium (no nav or Levinson stereo) and modern luxury (nav and Mark Levinson) levels. I chose the custom luxury level (all the goodies except back seat stuff and air suspension). Is that clear as mud?

And, welcome!
