![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Okay, after numerous hours of searching, I couldn't find anything on this topic so hopefully this is not a duplicate! If it is, SORRY!
Does anyone know of a good Air suspension controller for the LX470? I've found 1 at l-tuned (http://l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=1633) but its $720!!
For that price, you can get a whole new air suspension kit, fast bags at that, with everything and installed for a couple hundreds less! But i don't want to do anything major to the car otherwise it will void my warranty! So I'm just looking for something i can add on and take off whenever i need to (maintenance). Any help is very much appreciated! Thanks!

Just my $.02 here but the controller is one of the cheapest alternatives on the market. L-Tuned is having a free shipping special if that helps. I can't imagine a whole brand new air suspension set up costing that much because an Air Runner suspension runs about $4,000 to $5,000 installed. It seems this happens to be a viable alternative in my eyes. And if you are wondering I do own a Datasystems controller and have been very happy with it. There are alot of helpful threads here if you need help setting it up as it's all in Japanese.

Don't know if this is what you are looking for or not. But, I have had good luck with these guys in the past. I also don't have the this system either.

LX AHC is hydraulic, not air (GX/4runner limited are air). You can get similar controllers in Japan that allow you to adjust the height (front/rear independently) in 10mm increments for about 50,000 yen, or simpler ones that allow you to lock the AHC in low, normal, or high, regardless of speed for less than half of that (like the BBlanks AHC controller). For the BBlanks controller, it looks like you either connect it to the ECU or replace the ECU with it. There is no external unit. You just use the normal up/down switches and the truck will stay in that mode. I like the idea of adjusting it in 10mm increments, though, as you can, say, drop the front by 1" and the rear by 1/2" for improved fuel economy on the interstate. Dropping the vehicle 2" might be a little extreme, as you could bottom out the suspension if you hit a rough freeway overpass.
