My 2007+ LTZ with the Z55 autoride is at 100k.

- ride is feeling rickety
- service suspension light is on (sensor on rear shock bad)
- i only drive on pavement and looking for smoother ride

Question is
- better to just replace w OEM Delco and not bypass the stock systems?
- or replace with Arnott shocks/struts (which I understand bypass stock systems)

I'm able to do the install myself.

Thanks for the feedback!
 
First welcome to the site. There are many old threads with suspension upgrades and you may want to spend some time reading them.
Just my. 02 but I would stick with factory shocks to prevent issues with throwing codes with aftermarket shocks. I haven't seen many people complain about the ride quality of stock just the price of replacement.
Hope you have many happy and safe miles in your AV!
 
Thanks! Im starting to agree with your opinion. Seems like Arnott resellers have built quite a following. Not sure why anyone would want to bypass the ride of an LTZ other than price or tweaking.
