I like the Overtrail+, but i imagine aftermarket lifts would spoil the E-KDSS right?
Fwiw, LC300 owners don't seem to be having an issue with ekdss lean on the 300 post lift..compared to some 200 with kdss.
Lots of lc 300 grs that come ekdss standard running aftermarket suspension here.
I guess my question was whether the system works the same. I’d assume the its calibrated to work with specific baseline spring/shock lengths, but I know virtually nothing about it tbh.
Cool video...wish the video was properly translated from Japanese to English.
Wish there were more info on the interior and other capabilities.

I think yes
This makes me feel better about my color choice. Looks great.
Does eKDSS solve the lean issue because it's more an active electronic system vs passive hydraulic system that can become unbalanced?
so gross
You can translate, just select settings and auto generate subtitles to English. It catches most of what they are saying.
another video with a little more discussion of them driving and functions, same event, The hydrogen generator is pretty cool.
The lean was because it was imbalanced. It had two cylinders on one side and the internal pressure was around 500psi. The pistons are double acting, but there's still a significant difference in area of applied force due to the large shaft diameter. The result is a constant net down force on the sway bars on the driver's side of maybe 200lbs or something like that. I've calculated it in the past but I just don't recall exactly what it is. This is the case even if you "calibrate" or "balance" the system by evening out the pressure between the upper and lower circuits because equal fluid pressure in each side against unequal area results in net piston force trying to extend. There are a few ways to resolve it, but it will tend to return to it's natural balanced pressure state over time anyway. The best long term solution is either shims or springs that are slightly different side to side.
The new system is better balanced so it should have less lean although it will still have some in the rear. The front should be balanced.
The mclaren version uses 4 pistons and is fully balance. The other way to balance it would be to use double ended cylinders in each location that would then have balanced force at equal pressure in the upper and lower chambers. That would not create a lean.
The AAP Program is great. Bilstein, ARB, CBI, Dometic and more.
Do you have any details / information on what's going to be offered?
They've already added stuff to the car builders on Toyota's site, so that may give you some insight as to what they're looking into? I tried to build a Tundra the other day and the list was pretty sizable already.
Do you have a link? I didn't see it on either Toyota or Lexus sites I visited.
Here is an example:

I think they just went to Kurt's website and copy and pasted everything from ARB.
