Air suspension shock replacement
Go for Genuine Shocks.Patten Shocks are ok if you need to put some on to get you home but in my opinion they do not last half as long as the genuine Air Shocks. Mine are coming up for replacement soon. I’ve covered 136000 miles now and have noticed the rubber gaiters are starting to split on the...- Ian Morrison

Heated Windshield
If you look carefully at the front windscreen you can see tiny wires running down from top too bottom. Another sure way of telling you use too have a heated windscreen is look at the centre console.

Who Makes the OEM Brake Pads/Rotors?
It’s very variable on brake pad ware/ rotor ware. It all depends on how much your using your brake and if there’s friction from sticking brake calipers and ware / grooving on your discs.
