Airmatic delete, now quick question.

Hey guys, I have a 2000 S430, took out all four airmatic struts and air compressor, replaced them with regular struts and springs.

Now, these struts don't have the tube welded to the side of them that has a connection that should be plugged in to each outlet (4) to communicate with the ecu.

My question is, can I put a resistor in each of these outlets to appease the ecu in any way? I just got the entire front end redone(control arms, bushings, ball joints) which made the front end actually raise in ride height and also engine and gearbox mounts, but now the car says "Stop, car too low."

according to arnotts - theres a ecu error code bypass or disengager deal, maybe consult arnott for pricing on their unit

I understand that, arnott would be about $1440 after discount, i'm looking for an alternative for the struts that are on my car currently.

So you would not recommend the strut masters? I saw them for $879 for the complete kit.
