i noticed that my caddy isnt really feeling like a caddy over bumps and just driving around(hard rattle over bumps, no air compressor either in car to make system work,leaking air bags,rotted air lines, etc). i know that they make aftermarket suspension kits to replace the air ride system, and i want to know what a good company is for a passive system. if anyone has ever swapped their air ride out please help.

okay so ive been doing alot of research on suspension and i seen in another post that suncore industries makes a good kit. but i was wondering what do the resistors do that come within the package? do they bypass the computer? if not what do they do?

AJAX:  I replaced my entire system, front and rear, also new air pump from Arnott (99 Eldo), and I couldn't be happier.  Both front and rear cost me $469, air pump $160, all from Arnott.  Total labor for the installation was $280.  My mechanic said everything went in perfectly, all lines from arnott fit exactly into air pump and computer.  Car rides like new.  If I went with all Caddy parts and labor, it would have been over 4 Grand.  Recommend them to anybody!

a general response ...

resistors are often used in after market kits to fool the computers into thinking  that the original electronic device is still in place.

Another way to deal with suspension light/message after electric struts or shocks are replaced is: go to dealer and request tsb #00-03-11-001A
