Since you guys were so helpful last time I have a few more questions,
Do all 04-06 LS430 come with the taillights with the white strip or is that aftermarket?
I'm planning on doing airbags, and some people say they have AUS airbags on (megan) coilvers or something.
Why have coilovers and airbags? Do you need both?
Does anyone recommend a certain airbag?
Also I will be using coilovers for a while until I have enough to buy airbags, does anyone suggest which coilovers? I heard Megan LP?
Thanks

I believe you go.one or.the.other.. air suspension or coilovers, not both at same time. The taillights are LED so not sure what you mean by white strip. Finally, standard Bluetooth does not take music from phone. There might be aftermarket for music.

What coilovers do you have?
And what airbags do you suggest?
Do you need a certain airbag suspension in order to do both as a combo? Or any coilovers will be able to go with any airbags?

Can't speak much on aftermarket air since I am on OEM air...
But for the MP3 compatibility, I just use a quality tape deck mp3 player...I tuck the wire under the wood, and keep the wire inside the sliding pocket under the changer so you can't even notice it, and the quality is great including bass notes for aftermarket subwoofers.
I am sure I could spend 10 times the amount of money and tear apart my dash, but this will do for now.
If you are buying from scratch, my friend swears by Airrex coilover/bag setups...they come in one unit, specific to the car, and look great. But most people do UAS

How much are the Airrex coilover/bag setup? Is there a price difference between that and UAS?

This setup is in my old LS which is now belong to my younger bro. I like the ride to be a little soft but he likes it a little firm. After many hours of trying different ride height with the adjustment of the coilovers we found a spot where he really like it. You will have to play around with the adjustment until you find that sweet spot. But overall he's happy now, the handling and the ride is very comfortable even when it's driven low.

Airrex is kinda pricey...off the top of my head, I think the strut/bag setups start at $2k+ and you still need to buy everything else. I have never used them personally, just stating that my friend loves their stuff on his ride and his bias is towards Airrex vs others
