Default active suspension

was wondering if you can replace an active suspension with the W/O struts. like to replace all but at 4-5 hundred a piece cannot afford it so was wondering if there was a way to change to W/O active suspension and not set off any codes i have 01 s-type 4.0

Can someone pals tell me exactly what the "Computer ActiveTech Suspension" on my 08 XK is??

I'm a Corvette guy and is this similar to GM MRC suspension?

I can't find any detailed info on this and it's been driving me goofy.

Thanks

Tom

Looks like it works in a similiar way. Hope that clears it up some.

Brutal. I ordered non-CAT Bilstiens for my 03 STR. You mentioned; disconnecting the CAT module in the trunk won't set off a warning/fault light. Is this different for a CAT 4.0 "S" which will set off a warning light?
