fc electronically adjustable shocks

I want to buy some new KYB AGXs, does it matter if my car was fitted with the electronically adjustable crap?

Doesn't matter unless you expect the electronic adjustable suspension to still work.

The control module on the back to the right of the spare tire. You may save 5 pounds, but its dead weight anyway so why not remove it?

Standard proceedure on this forum has long been to remove the AAS and go with conventional shocks & struts when the stockers are worn out. There simply isn't a viable replacement shock/strut for this 20+ year old AAS system.
