Default Need some suspension knowledge

I have the F-45 suspension in my car right now. I am thinking about going with some different shocks and know that I will not have the Sensors as the F-45. My first question is can I delete the senors all together with tunning. 2. Will doing this hur my competitive modes. 3. Are the shocks even related to competitive mode? 4. What the hell are the sensors for on the shocks? Anybody?

You can delete the sensors with a Tech II device at a dealer or Tuner or you can place resistors in the shock mounting wires

People usually do this when they are going with a shock like Bilsteins.

You will lose the ability to switch between touring and standard modes which are shock stiffness settings.

This has nothing to do with Competative Mode which turns off traction control to the wheels
