Default R-Spec air-sus controller on RX330?

hello guys,

anyone with air-suspension on RX330 tried the air-sus controller from R-Spec? It seems to work pretty well with the LS430. My family is considering a RX330, and if the air-sus controller works, it might even be my GS replacement

You have a link to this! What exactly does this controller do?

I have the Perf. Air suspension on mine and would be interested--depending on what it does

On the LS340 the air suspension in stock form can raise the suspension height from normal and also run in sport mode (Stiffen up the ride). It also lowers the vehicle a bit when going over 60MPH I believe for better handling at speed. With the suspension controller (About $700 for the part I believe) it allows you to independently control and set user parameters other than stock. All the stock switches work as normal, but you can now not only raise the car but also lower the car up to 4" I believe. You can also set user programable settings in memory. I believe on member also mentioned it can control suspension stiffness as well. Basically, it turns the stock air suspension into an aftermarket air suspension in terms of control over the system. Here is the link for what it does on the LS430. I have no idea if it will work the same on the RX.

basically there's a harness made for the JDM Harrier with AIRS suspension, so I would assume that it works. However no one has proven that.

It would be SWEET to see a slammed RX330!

Just checked out l-tunedparts and the price is $570 plus $150 for the harness. I think I want one, but need to save up first.

Nice!!

Now does it have any specifics listed with it and all it can do??? Who is going to be the first to install one

I think the RX will look tons better going a little lower than "LO" will go while driving down the road...

When I push the park assist which drops it even lower when parked...Now thats looking a little better

very nice. it wasn't there when I last checked L-Tunedparts.com. I guess Steve acts quick!

the price is not bad at all, considering how much you can do with it.

I just wonder how low it can really go. On the LS it can slam the whole car. It would be amazing to see someone trying this out.
