Question strutmasters and arnott indunstries KITS

I have seen the kits from strutmasters and arnott indunstries for the UCF21 LS400. Are these kits just the struts and coils? Or do they include speacial adapters, hardware, etc? Can you just buy a set of struts and stock springs to convert?

Also after converting, will it cause the check engine light to come up with a code? What do you do with the air compressor and all the air lines? remove or just leave it intact?
OEM Air struts form the dealership are more expensive that i thought.

The Arnott conversion struts include everything and just bolt right in. Arnott also sells replacement air struts if you wanted to spend the money and stick with the air. I don't think removing the compressor and such would serve any purpose. May as well just leave it in place.

^^^^To add; Strutmaters sell spring and strut combo that just bolts right on. If you have air suspension and you purchase a kit from them all you would have to do is pull out the 20 amp A/S fuse to stop the compressor.

20amp a\s fuse..i will look in the engine bay..is it in a fuse box in there?

it seems the strutmaster and arnott coil spring conversion prices are pretty close, I dont know which one is better in terms of quality.

The A/S fuse is inside by near the driver's side kick panel.
