Looking to purchase an 01 LS430 UL with 160k miles in CA. Love all the options it comes with but worried about the air suspension.
Since the factory air suspension is probably on its last leg, would it be a hassel to replace/upgrade with aftermarket parts? (bag/shock, compressor, tank, etc)
please no bashing on factory air suspension, etc.
Just trying to see what my options are than switching to a coilover system.

do you/would you replace the entire system? (including all the hoses) or just what's broken? thanks for the reply!

That's exactly what I was thinking. just curious to see if anyone has done factory tank/compressor with aftermarket bag/shock set up.
but seems like it probably better just to switch out the entire system (new tank/compressor/hoses etc etc).

I love my stock air but recently, its been a pain. It would rise on its own and I don't even drive low. When I come to a stop and look in the rear, the rear of my car is jacked up really high. So i decided to just swap out the air and do coilovers for now since I'm moving back to hawaii next year. Once I'm back home, gonna do all aftermarket air.
If your not going to drive low and stay somewhat stock, i would just replace the parts that break.
