Hi all... long time reader, first post, really do value the experience and information shared here... many thanks.
My question - if you installed Arnott's C-3184 shock kit (w/ Eibachs), are you satisfied enough that you'd do it again? Maybe a little on why?
And what did you do for front springs - the old ones or ?
I've studied all the options till I want to barf: maybe the current generation Magnetic warrants some coin, but I was never really happy with it in an 08, so not going to repeat (fully understanding why others might)... these pages speak of Arnott's own air shock for the back (I love a level platform) but its not gas charged, the roads around here suck, and the Hoe needs to handle and ride, and my trailering is rare and moest. Maybe KYB's all around (or KYB on front when Arnott airs are on back), but the Eibach's really do intrigue me - any thoughts very appreciated.
I posed this in the 2021+ forum, and while being re-directed I was asked for photos - not having any I'll profile the vehicle:
'08 w/ 198.5k, first owner, all original except wear items and the front magnetics have been replaced once and need it again. Motor is strong, very little oil consumed between changes (a certain synthetic is used too often), but the transmission is starting to act like me - uhhh... which gear is next? Ohhhh..... 2... yeah...
Anyway, advice on the Arnott / Eibachs welcome... and thx again. I'll should open the q up a little, if KYBs hit a home run with you please speak up.
