Anybody replace their F45 shocks and used the RTD simulators. How reliable are the aftermarket simulators?

I used the radio shack simulators ( 4 10 ohm 10 watt wire woumnd resistors - less than $3 00). they've been on for over 3 years and 40K miles. The reliablity is wonderful.

Used the sims, fast, easy, and weather-tight.

Did the same 5 years ago; no issues.

These do the same thing as the pricey sims. Mine have been on since 2006.

Bought the simulators from a forum member for about half the price of new. Installed the C6 Z51 shocks and simulators...the difference is unbelievable.

Deleted mine as well and put in C6 ZO6 shocks...awesome difference and no issues with the simes.

I want to make sure I understand where you put the resitors.

You plug them into the body harness where the shock would normally plug in.?

Also did you buy a matching plug?

How did you attach the resistor leads to the body plug? Any pics; Thanks. I am on the same road you are but slightly behind you. I had a set of takeoffs' I put on my car at 80,000 miles but due to nice Miss katrina they were underwater a while but given the cost I gave them a try. Looks like water may have entered somehow. When I hit any type of bump they sound like a sledge hammer in the wheel well. I really don't want to spend the big $$ for RTR shocks again. Thanks vettdvr
