Padgett Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Looks like I may have found a replacement for the front struts even if the vendor doesn't know it. This is the paper that was packed inside: Bought here for Allante spare but don't think vendor knows about Reatta. Any dimensions to check ? This is one set of two. Let me know what you think.

Grayman Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Have you installed them yet? How does the quality look in person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I didn't realize there was a problem getting front struts. RockAuto shows several brands are in stock for the front. No rears. Is that wrong?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarookha Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Any insight into what an "active to passive conversion kit" is supposed to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted March 2, 2023 Topic Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 Staring in 1989 Allantes got what Cadillac called Speed Sensitive Damping with electrically controlled shocks and struts. These have been unobtanium for some years. Most people turn off the diagnostics (BCM Option). These are replacements Apparently they also fit many GM cars including the Reatta and include a resistor to tell the BCM that all is OK. Since I have both Reattae and Allantes thought it would be a good spare for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alchemy333 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Im replacing mine as we speak. The parts you got look identical to mine... I compared them to my old parts. A few minor upgrades. I'll be re-installing tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
