Default Arnott suspensions with bilsteins???

I tried searching. Anyone on the boards install Arnott gen II with bilsteins yet and
care to comment? I'm trying to decide on Gen I or Gen II with bilsteins on all corners.
Just wondering if the Gen II is worth the extra $363. I doubt anyone had experience
with both on their car but just a comparison from stock to Gen II would be greatly appreciated.
Reason I ask is I don't have H-sport sways yet and I can get it for the price difference.

Thanks
Luis

Installed GEN II all four two weeks ago. The difference is obvious. Much more solid on the road....well worth the extra money in my opinion.

Hello Coolloon - What was your previous set up? Did you have Arnott gen I? Also, what shocks?
Thanks,
Pete

First Impressions...

Just retrieved the AR from my Indy. New Gen II's with Bilsteins on the front. I have only driven about 20 miles, best upgrade yet! Car is firm, no front end drive into the corners, seems like the car is almost "new". The workmanship of these Gen IIs and Bilsteins is great. I am now thinking about Bilsteins for the rear. My rear air bags are still fine, just need Bilsteins to match the front.

Ask me any questions.....

Thanks! Good to know of an indy with experience on the air suspension install. Even though I read it's not that difficult, I've read a lot of posts on screwed up installs...especially with the Arnott stuff.

Previous setup was stock. I didn't replace the shocks just the air suspension...tremendous difference.
