Aftermarket Springs and AAS?

The stock AAS is not crap. It was good for what it was, remember this is 20+ year old technology.

FWIW my AAS still works on a 140K chassis. The motors turn the valves, and the suspension firms up. Hit the button, and it feels a little smoother over bumps.

Sorry Max, but you seem to have a hatred for what it essentially an AGX or Tokico that only has 2 positions. It isn't that crappy. The AAS on my 626 worked great too, and it was 3 position!!

Regardless, you should replace the struts and springs at the same time. No reason to take it apart twice.

All you have to do is remove the assemblies as a whole. Buy new struts mounts, and put together the new struts/springs, then bolt them back into the chassis.

Then, go get an alignment.
