Take a look at the 2010 LS600 front grille.


What I'm referring to is that Nat must've custom fit the 2010 LS600 front grille without changing out the 07/08 headlights/bumpers. Either way, some serious detail going on here.
It is the WALD replacement grille as the 2010 LS front grille is different. Here is mine in black:

They could've used those to cut the air hose but they wanted to make it reversible

For those of you who are wondering, the tool that is needed to remove the OEM air suspension looks like the small picture at the bottom of this pdf:

If the car was equipped with OEM Air Suspension, the ECU will most definitely throw a code once the suspension is removed.

That's why I installed the Datasystem Controller and not the Air Runner. There is no longer a regulation while cornering, accelerating, braking. And how about ride comfort settings? All is off or am I wrong?

I replying for Nat. The info screen on the cluster does say something about the aire system. He did have the Datasystems controller but it takes a while for the car to go up and down. Eventually the stock shocks will go and replacing stock air shocks is way more expensive than your usual shock swap. Having the air runner on the ground system will let him ride low and have a good ride still. And it lets you slam the car parked which the data systems does not. Not this low.

Does the air runner setup help us AWD LS's to go lower or would we still have the limiting issues going as low as the non AWD's can?

Any questions you have about AR suspension I would suggest recommend contacting Shin at ACC directly.
