My post was more about being aware of what potential issues could be affected by fitting under performing shocks (maybe I should have used that instead of cheaper).

Ah thanks for the clarification, I haven't felt the OP is going in blind, he's still researching. I assumed that he is trying to look for suitable OE replacements. I, too, agree you should shoot for OE where possible first or if you're wanting more, then sure higher performance parts makes sense.



I don't thing the vehicle dynamics nor its systems would be affected to the point of abnormal/unacceptable if the OP did away with self levelling for standard shocks with suitable springs. Self levelling is just that, it'll keep the vehicle at a specific ride height fully loaded or unladen. Again reversing that feature, I wouldn't think would ruin the vehicle.
