I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with Action Auto Salvage. They sell a kits for Caddy air suspensions. While google-ing for Caddy struts, they came up. (www.actionsalvage.com (http://www.actionsalvage.com/)) Go to the air suspension section, they sell parts for Caddy, Lincoln, etc. The 4 wheel kit goes for $679.95. I called Action, the guy said that these are brand new struts, not rebuilt and if you hold them next to the OEM parts, you can't tell the difference. Thus, they are not "passives", they are the real air struts. Does anyone have experience with this?? They do have a 30 day moneyback guarantee, although in the fine print they mention a 20%restock charge. If they'd waive the 20% charge, I'd order a set, if they look like junk, send em back, if they look OK, put 'em in, and report back. Before all of that though, does anyone have any experience with Action Auto Salvage and their product? If you are talking about something like this, but not exactly THESE parts from THIS company, please make that clear. :banghead:

What I hear you say is that they are visually identical and that they are air struts. Unfortunately neither of these make it an active strut. My gut feeling from their product line is that they are pimping the arnott strut only at a higher price. I would want the fact that they are active struts with electronic soleniod valving and not just passive air shocks in writing before i considered them.
