Active suspension

[Paul Hindley]

Hello, so my mechanic installed aftermarket NAPA shocks and used these bypass units. They do work with my 2011 Buick Regal T! So I have 2 new shocks and no error messages on my dash. Big thanks to saltysogadawg for recommending the bypass kit. Worked like a charm. Here's the amazon link

FYI for those looking for active suspension.
Front struts: right - 13319742
left-13319741
Rear shocks: right - 13319758
left- 22834093

Would those work for a 2014 Regal GS? I've had the hardest time finding the correct parts. I switched them out, and now the car sits about and inch and a half higher.

Did you switch the springs from the original GS struts to the new struts? If not, you will not be able to reproduce the GS lower ride height.

I did a loaded strut. How can I reproduce the original GS ride height? That space in the wheel well is driving me nuts..

You need the original springs. Try salvage yards.

Can I order oe springs that will do the job? I’ve been looking, but can’t get a straight, concise answer. Part #s perhaps?

Maybe coil-overs?

If you can find them. They typically are adjustable.

So, if I were to take it to the dealership, they wouldn’t be able to correct this issue? I’m at my wits end.

A dealer isn't going to install a coil over suspension. Either live with it or find used springs at a salvage yard. Car-parts.com might help.

I’m seeing a lot of 2013 GS’s on car-parts.com, not many 14’s. Will the struts and springs from a 13 work/bring my desired, “stock GS” ride height on my 14?

check with a GM dealer if the same part was used
