Air Suspension Delete
#16
Yeah there is a TSB to recalibrate the air suspension level-ness. I had it done but it didn't do much. I was never 100% happy with my air suspension because sometimes the front end would be lower while driving and then it would scrape the road a few houses down from mine. It was quite embarrassing but wouldn't happen all the time. Sometimes the car sat a bit uneven when parked when looking at it from the rear. Lexus/Toyota just doesn't have enough experience with air suspension IMHO, I would try to avoid air suspension from Toyota/Lexus.
I've had air suspension in my Jaguar, Lincoln, and Tesla never had an issue with any of those air bag/strut systems.

Have you had any issues with the air suspension, in the cold and snow, etc.? I heard all of these types fail eventually.

No weather related issues with the air suspension, no. Yes these all do fail eventually, the rubber degrades over time similar to tires but with less wear obviously (slow leaks due to tiny cracks in the rubber).

I thought I was trippin or seeing things but mine is higher on the right side too. I took it to Lexus while it was still under warranty and they told me that if it isn't severely affecting the ride, to not rip apart the air suspension system because it would never be the same. I showed them the TSB too and the sensor bar recalibration did not fix it completely. They did however, acknowledge that it was a bit higher on the right side but then again reiterated that if they had to disassemble everything to diagnose and troubleshoot, that it would never be the same again.
I didn't like that answer and by the time I brought it back again, my warranty was expired because of the month purchased not by miles! I was not happy and I wasn't getting anywhere talking to the managers or "master techs". I didn't want to keep wasting my time bringing it in again and again, so I reconnected my Datasystems controller, and I adjusted the right side to be a little lower, so
i.e 1-2-1 (F,R,Rear), and now it looks right. Not the greatest answer or fix but it works and I didn't have to rip apart my suspension.
YMMV but i have seen some Datasystems on sale on here for like $300 bucks. A plus is you can also slam it when you want
