Tokico Illumina II ARC shocks are the only choice if you want to keep your automatic ride control functional for our cars. They do not have struts per say but are coil over shocks. (If anyone can tell me the difference please chime in here) And they are firmer from what I have heard thier soft or auto setting is like our firm on the original shocks. Our cars came stock with Tokico Illumina I ARC shocks and these are the second generation of that model.
