In my case the following was done:
remove shock controller and loop the LAN CABLES IN TO OUT.
PROTECT/TERMINATE OTHER WIRES THAT WE DO NOT USE
Reprogram BCM with Tech 2 to delete RTD option.
Reprogram the ABS module with the stock calibration.

Woah. 5 year old thread bump! 
Folks above us have it spot on, the FEx designations weren't alignment settings but rather different hardware packages on different Corvette models. Alignment recommendations from the factory may be different between the different designations, but the more important part is the different shock, bar and spring packages with each FEx number.

HOWEVER . . .
Tom is a serious road-course driver, so his needs may not be exactly the same as yours.
But Tom is right-on when he describes the base suspension as a fine starting point for whatever you want to do. And it will take good care of you while you are deciding.
I have the FE1 suspension on my convertible, and have added the Z51 bars and bushings. Next will be the Bilstein HD shock absorbers, and then I will have the classic "shopdog" configuration.
Good luck with your C6.

Aside from cost, is there a reason why you chose the Bilstein HD's over the Koni FSD's?

What to do that a mistake was gone?

Nope everything so far is fine. What you still have to do is disconnect the ESM. It is located behind the right front fender. In addition to disconnecting the and removing the ESM you must jump the LAN wires. Without doing this the car will not start. Protect the the rest of the wires/connector. Hopefully you have the shop manual, I had a dealer do this part.

Or can measure resistance of an electricity on shock-absorbers and attach radio-resistance on connectors?
But it would be desirable to clean all system fe2.

It is what controls the F55 shocks and it is the reason you have the error. My understanding is things like simulators are hit or miss for the F55 systems. For some people it worked for other it does not. They cost around $200.

I.e. if to dismantle this f55 block to disconnect all wires, the error will be gone? Or it is necessary to use resistors? Or it is necessary to do something still?
