LS 430 VIP parts questions.

Hey guy i've been lurking around for sometime i've been into VIP since i had my spectra mica blue pearl GS back in 2000, when i had my GS the whole VIP scene in the states was in it's infancy.to tell the truth i got tired of lusting over parts that was either to hard to get or in order to get them i had to sell my first unborn kid...well i gave up and went through big truck with 26" wheels faze but in my heart i was always a VIP kind of guy so now i'm back and i'm picking up a 04 LS430 in black this weekend, but the problem is it's not an UL model so i'm trying to find a really good drop suspension either air or static until i get air....i found a set of tanabe springs for the car but i don't want to leave any stone unturned so my questions are.
1. do you guys/girls know of any good spring airride manufactuers?
2. where can i score a set of those Garson curtains/pillows?
3.are you guys running exhaust on your 430's if so what type & is it loud?

I was thinking about junction produce but i need to know if it's loud because the 430 is a luxury vehicle and i don't want it to sound like a civic.

I saw this exhaust and it states that it's only 1db above stock but i don't want to rush into things, i want to do this car up right the first time.

Do you have links to retailers in the states? i'm going crazy because i can't read japanese, do you know the name of retailers for the exhaust? also have you heard things about universal air, airforce suspensions such as quality and reliability?

Dude just look at the vendors page....go to UAS/pgmotoringusa for The air setup, runs about 2300. pillows and stuff, go for eliteautostyle, talk to JDMpalace or the vendors at LuxuryBippuStyle.As for exhuast, it may be a bit louder than stock, but will sound mean as hell. Look up GS430 exhaust on youtube, you'll see how nice it sounds.

Auto Fashion for all 3 items....

reason i say airrunner rather than universal is that it is a complete bolt on.
