lets do this, I'm sent a message. I'll get a price on lexus 2 fast system. I will probably retrofit a lot of things, but it is a start. To get an up and running system.

a lil update for those still following this thread....

due to the lack of interest in an ART custom kit... i'm now working with Chassis Tech/ AIM Industries... they currently already make an air cylinder kit for the SC.... however... i talked them into making me a custom strut bag setup... (strut/shock with an air bag in place of a coil spring)

this will supposedly handle a lot better in the corners over an air cylinder setup. The drawback is that the adjustability is solely in the PSI.

The air cylinder setup has the adjustibility in the accumalator which you have to physically get under the car or wherever you place it, to adjust the ride quality. And the air cylinders are considerably stiffer than a strutbag setup without the accumalators.

what ever you do stay away from AIM valves and compressors. Im not sure how their air struts are but the valves are cheap qualty and leak.
