I have 07 LTZ 4wd with 125k miles. Front struts and rear shocks need to be replaced together with new air compressor since original is very noisy. I have been researching Arnott set up but i coundt figure oit what to buy from them for rear. They have cheapper passive shocks for $151.35 or new better shocks for $237.55. And i dont want reman shocks from them since they only replaced air bag. Yesterday i call them and guy told told me difference is that cheapper shock need some kinda box to be zip tie for resistor and more expensive one is plug and play. I dont think thats difference and guy just want me to sell cheapper one for some reason. So what better rear shok from them and way
Also fo the front should i go with premium stuts $220.94 or value struts for $179

Thanks

I just spoke again with cust service and this tie it was some lady. Didnt catch her name but boy he know her stuff. So pretty much valu struts/shocks are lower grade quality more like softer ride than premium one
Other thing about Arnott warranty is life time if you bubdrombthem. If you buy from 3rd party than warranty will be whatever 3rd party will offer. So keep that in mind

I ordered my back shocks from eBay from the seller AM Autoparts. And a Dorman compressor from Amazon part #949-001.
Look for ARNOTT Air Shocks Rear Left LH & Right RH Pair Set for Chevy GMC Cadillac. They're $378 right for the back pair.
Same seller has the front shocks pair for $387.

I was goingbto order from am autoparts than i found out warranty will be from am autoparts only since arnott wont cover it since am autoparts os resealler. So i found discount code gmsave10 and save $70 on rear shocks and air compressor all from arnott. It was $30 difference at the end and i got it directly from arnott. Should be at my door step tmrw morning.
Thanks any way

Its not first time im dopping shocks/springs. I used to swap strut/shocks and spring on 94 Mustang GT in parking lot of race track between runs. Heck i even swap turbos and egr valves on the sholder on interstate on my 18 wheeler

Finished installing Arnott/Bilstein shocks # AS-2700 and Arnott air compressor # P-2793 is evening. First impressions. Its much better than my original 120k rear shocks, but its not road race car much better and wont win any races, i can say it probably with pair if not little better than new GM shocks. Also air compressor is quiter than my old rusted compressor. So $213 each shock and $209 air compressor i say its good deal. BTW thats with 10% off if you use discount code GMSAVE10. If you gonna order online there wont be discount on compressor, but if you order over the phone and tell them to use discout code, you will get 10% discount on compressor. So there you go
