It never ceases to amaze me just how incredible the LS looks from the back, from the side, from the front, from an angle...just every point of view you can imagine. I was reminded of this looking at your pictures.

The LS strikes the perfect balance of elegance and sportiness.

My dad was considering the LS vs the Merc S550 a few weeks back, and I'm just ecstatic that he ended up choosing the LS.

I'm not gonna lie - I thought the older S500 Merc's looked fairly elegant. But the newest generation Mercedes S class is just...I can't describe it. The back looks horrendous. The front looks pretty good.

But with the LS...you get more powerful acceleration 0-60, better exterior, plusher interior, a host of unique gadgets, and all for less than the Merc. Such a phenomenal deal.

Sorry I went off on a bit of a tangent there.

5 is the lowest setting when you are not in super low mode. The car sits right above the tires so the ride is a little bumpy. When in Super low mode you can go past 9 but it will not let you drive the car, r if you do it raises it to normal height.

Do you think it will have any negative effects on the life of the air suspension if you drive with it at say the 4 or 5 setting? I dont know much about these systems.

Looks nice! Now fill it up, put 4 passengers inside, cram their luggage in the trunk and go down Lombard Street in San Fran

EDIT: Do it at night so we can see the cool spark effects!

well telling people to basically GTFO isnt really within the forum rules

theres a difference between constructive criticism and just telling someone that what they want to do is wrong/disgusting. one is opinion and the other is demeaning as well as rude.

ah, pretty smart setup there then, so it "knows" that the car is too low and won't let you drive.

i too wonder if all these changes to the suspension affects the lifespan of the air suspension? these items are very expensive to repair/replace

Er, still not getting it - is this settings for the FACTORY suspension or an after market setup?

The controller is after-market, but it is taking advantage of the adjustable/programmable LS460L Lexus factory air suspension characteristics, or enhancing them as it were.
