I wouldn't be so upset about losing the ARC function if there were a decent performance shock absorber out there for us to use, but the Bilsteins are no more, and neither are the Konis. The Monroes and KYBs will work, but they are way too soft for any kind of performance driving, and especially on a lowered SC with stiffer springs, they don't last too long either. Tokicko was the last supplier of good performance shocks with the Illuminas and the Blues, but with those out of production, there simply is no performance option left. My SC is also badly in need of new shocks, and if Tokicko isn't back up and running by the summer, I'll probably end up looking for a low-mileage set of stock SC shocks, since a decent condition used set of those handle better than anything you can go out and buy new.
