Oups !! instead of "knocks up" i should have wrote "knocks down" to the bottom..........

If the swap is not to your likening why not simply remove the Gen1 bags and put the stock oem bags back in? That should return the rear to completely stock and the ride will be fine. Problem solved !

Very good idea my friend !! The problem is that the old airbags are in the garbage...They were the original ones, the car is 9 years old now with more than 160k. My mistake if one is that I have made some preventive maintenance that i shouldn't have done !!!
What i just want to say here is if i buy an other ar (which will be a used one) i won't buy Arnott's airbag to replace the OEM ones especially for the rear.......
May be i will find the problem with my actual set up ! if so, i will certainly post it on this forum....

my question is very simple, front air spring, arnott gen-II or OEM ??
and why?

Sgt G

Most like the Gen 1 springs (they act just like oem springs but are cheaper than oem and have lifetime warranty).
A few like Gen 2 (more money than Gen 1 springs, but also more sporty / stiffer feeling ride). Some have mentioned the ride as too harsh with Gen 2 springs, especially on level one or if car has 402 mod.

You gotta choose what's right for u.

i voted for arnott GEN-II, as newly designed should be more effective and last longer, already ordered front pair, i'll post my feedback..

They were designed for a different purpose, that's the bottom line.
