Arnott Passive Shocks on 93' STS

Excellent Information...

Regarding one point... You mention to keep the air connectors clean, and it seems unless I was looking at it wrong that you reconnected the air line back to the PASSIVE shock. I was under the impression that passive shocks were completely independent from the air system and electronics (though I can see how the passive electrical connection is useful in terms of the computer) so how does the new shock utilize the air, and if it DOES still use the air line, then what is it electrionically that makes an ACTIVE shock active?

In other words, to me a passive strut system would be one that had no dependence on the vehicles other systems whatsoever, but I am guessing I was wrong on that.
