I recently replaced mine with Gen II. Can't really tell any difference in ride quality.
Installation was a breeze. Do not remove the pinch bolt, you don't need to. Just unbolt the top of the strut, then pull it down and twist and the top of the strut will come out of the wheel well. Then, you can remove the 12 point bolts on top of the aluminum hat.
First side took me 4 hours. Second side took me 30 minutes.

Just noticed my front/right sagging after a few days; is it REALLY that easy to replace an air bag? The PO of mine replaced both fronts in the past with OEM parts, if I'm going to do it, I'll do it myself with Gen 1's, especially if it's THAT easy...

Thanks. I saw your quote, but had already purchased the parts. I am about 80% through the work. Hopefully will wrap it up in the morning. I wouldn't call it fun. The gas charged shocks make it quite a pain in the neck to get the assemblies out and back in again.
