Looking to have air ride installed on my 2004 lexus ls430 ultra. I purchase a ASC controller about a year ago, but realized the process may be too slow. I found this on ebay yesterday, wondering what you guys think?

I'm not sure about that man. I'd go with a more known and trustworthy brand like UAS

http://www.luxurymods.com/uasairbagsuspension.aspx

Its more money but UAS is trusted and has quality products.

 

that works, so since the UAS kit says bagged struts does that mean less modifications? I just wanna make sure that if I ever need to go back to stock, it will be kind of seamless.

 

That auction is for UAS (Universal Air Suspension) bags and brackets.

 

So is that a good deal Will?

 

It's just bags, brackets, and lines. You still need solenoids, valves, compressors, a tank, air management, and wiring to consider it a "kit".

 

The UL has air ride already. It really depends how you plan to integrate a new air setup into the UL setup. If the OP wants to ditch the OEM air shocks and get traditional shocks with these bags, he still needs everything else to make it work.

 

so I talked to a local shop and they gave me a price of $2800.00 for UAS kit installed...Good price?

 

Considering the kit cost around $2200 alone, $600 for labor is not too bad.

One thing I don't understand is why are you going to aftermarket air when you're already on air?

 

I want the ability to adjust the air ride....I already have the ASC680, and may use that...but its very slow and I have seen some common problems with using it......But really I would like to get this right, so I am open to opinions.

 

Granted the ASC is slow, but unless you are going for showing off like dropping the car down at a stop light, etc, it should work pretty well as it.

I would go the UAS route if my factory air fails, but would most likely go coilover for a clean daily driver.

 

Personally I wouldn't have bought an UL if I were going to get aftermarket air.

 

Lol I have an UL and switched to AirRunner for the same reason the OP wants to switch.

As for the comment about not buying a UL because of this well If there was another trim level that has everything the UL has minus the air then maybe that would have worked. But as far as I know none of the other trim levels match that description.

Also I dont use my air to drop it at stop lights but when pulling into a steep drive way I dont want to have to wait 2 to 5 minutes for the stock system to air up then pull in. Now its a simple push of a button and about 2 seconds.
