Probably been asked, but always have trouble with search, do the Celsior, and Lexus LS400 have the same suspension?
Both airbag, or one spring?
Which one is best if they are different?

99.9% of LS400's in Aust are A spec UCF10's.
98% of Celsior's in Aust are C or CF spec UCF11's.

UCF10's have springs, UCF11's have airbags.

Ian,

Both are interchangeable with each other.

As far as what is best? Thats a personal opinion as they both feel very differant, My opinion is the coil spring ls400/celsiors generally feel more planted on the road, but the airbag ones are so much more comfy.

I vote airbags but they both have there pros and cons. It's pretty much a given that the stock bags on the celsiors will start to leak on day. Mine havent yet :-)

David, would you say the difference is similar to the UZZ30 with coils, V the UZZ31 with air bags.
A UZZ31 with "good" suspension is a pleasure to drive, but a worn out one is not good.
