Just put in the Arnott MR4262 suspension for my fronts.
I'll post some info, for those deciding to use Arnott, ACdelco, or others.
I went with the MR4262 because I thought it was an Eibach shock and spring with magneride fluid inside. Well, im not sure if it's eibach, I dont see "Eibach" anywhere on the spring or shock. I was debating to get just the shock and re-use the spring to save about 200$ total for the pair. I am glad i did NOT. After installing the Arnotts, my front end was lifted about 2 inches. I think the old suspension has sagged overtime, and since im not the oG owner, I have no idea of how high the front was brand new.
The newly installed Arnot was squeeky for the frist few speedbumps, but now and quiet and smooth. Also did the trim height adjustment on the Autel, since the ride in the front is 2 inches higher now (although it did not throw any codes). Let's see if this settles over time.
My recommendation is to use Arnott with the spring installed, since your old springs have probably already sagged. With the spring already installed, installation is very easy. AC delco does not sell pre-loaded Magneride shocks/springs.
Dont buy AC delco from Ebay, they are cheaper, but they are 99% fakes. (I wouldn't buy from amazon either for the same reason)
NOTE: there are 4 versions of Arnotts offered.
1. Magneride shock only
2. Magneride shock only (but passive, so it bypasses the magneride)
3. Magneride shock and spring* this is what I got because I wanted to keep the magneride functionality.
4. Magneride shock and spring (but passive)
of course you can bypass it altogether and get FOX or Billies. lots of info out there or Mag Del. If the Arnotts fail, I'll give Fox a try.
Hope this can help others.
