Hello! I just purchased a 2010 Ls460 AWD. 98k miles. I want to swap out the air suspension with a conventional one. Anyone know of a good brand? Can I just purchase the conventional ls suspension for the non air one? Please help. Dont want to deal with cost of replacing air suspension.

Welcome to the Lexus Forum. Use the search function and you'll see a lot of information about this subject. The people here are great.

BTW, did you get the service records for your car yet?

Thank you ! I did get a few through the car fax report. Its clean. And runs great. I just know that eventually the air suspension is going to have to be replaced. And I'd rather go with coil overs. I honestly don't care about the dash lights when I do convert. This is really just my fun car.

First, put your VIN in the lexusdrivers.com site and pull up the service history.

I was trying to find where I missed the part where he had all those cars. I think you meant that he had all those to choose from... Silly Me. The reason I say check the lexusdrivers.com site is he might find that they might have been replaced already. Mine were and I didn't know it until I looked at the service history.

A lot of people purchase those cars and drive them no differently than most would drive a LS460. So, why does it matter?

Don't do it wait till they go bad. Enjoy floating on air while you can

Thanks for advice! I checked it out. No reports of suspension being changed. It's not that bad but if/when it does, I want to replace it for coilovers. I read a post about a guy that did it. But that was last year. Wanted to see if anyone had any updated info for best replacements

No plans on selling it. I just got it as a car to drive when I dont want to drive my truck. And do some projects on.

Sounds like fun to me.

I wouldnt go to the expense of swapping it out until the air suspension fails. It may in fact never fail.
