All you have to do is unplug the FX-3 computer and bolt on the non-FX-3 shocks (the Bilstein "sports" work well!). If the light stays on you can unplug the light. Later you can upgrade the springs if need be.

Bilsteins with Coilovers, Got rid of the Front & Rear springs, Adjustable Ride Height, Valved for Road/Track - done it all and the handling is now out of this world. No more "floating" at high speed, hugs the road and takes the corners fantastically !!! :D

Just replace the FX3 shocks with non-FX3 shocks is all it takes? What did you do with the adjusters, just remove them?
