they use the snap ring so my strut mod works.

Hey Shark - thanks for posting the follow up. To confirm, the fronts DO NOT keep autoride, correct (they bypass it)??, and you have to remove the factory connectors, right.

You mention how much the ride has improved; would it have improved as much by simply installing NEW OEMs, do you think?

Does anyone know if the strut mod would also work on the Arnotts?

Yes, the fronts do not keep the Autoride. I think this is a plus and probably one of the reasons why it rides better, especially lowered.

The factory connector just gets wired into a box which tricks the computer into thinking its still connected so you don't get any error messages.

I think it improved over new OEM shocks and struts.

TJ, thanks for the reply. I will likely go with the Arnott fronts now (I already have the rears, which I installed about a year ago now). I would like the front to feel a little more firm / "connected tot he ground", if that makes sense.?.

No error codes right??

it comes with the box so it should not have a code. I have the resistor box here for the rear still lagging havent checked the resistance on it.
