Default How much for active handling?

What all would be involved and how much would it be to install active handling on an early C5? I have heard that in 2001 the system changed a little. Is it more complex?

It would be very expensive, you would be better off to trade cars. I think the shocks alone are around 700$ apiece, and then theres the pcm etc. I might be doable if you already have the active handling and just want to upgrade, you could probably just get the new processor? I would do a search for this topic as many have asked, but as far as I know few, if any, have done the swap. :cheers:

It's much more than the new processor. Just trade for a 2001+
