The pic on the left (white plug) is for AAS. The green plugs are for check connectors. There should be a large connector in the spare tire well as well.

first off, the AAS system is not reliable unless it is constantly maintained. Which means, if you take the parts off of a junk car, most likely you will have wasted your time. IMO you will be much better off getting a set of KYB AGX struts. They are adjustable by a **** on the side of the unit, and you will actually see a difference with them. I have experience with the AAS and most people who have it cannot even tell a difference between the settings. It is a good system, but not out of a junk car.

my friends car is a GXL and you cna tell the difrence

i think the reason that the AAS is still on the car in the junk yard is because the car is wedged in between two other cars so it would be a pain to jack it up would have to jack it up highenuff to get under the car

it would be hard to have a suspension that you have to adjust by a *** in a vert because you would have to take out all teh back panaling to adjust it IMO but its a nice thought
