Your nomenclature and equipment description is totally wrong, your car can't be equipped as you describe so we need to clarify what you really have before offering suggestions.

First, Corvettes don't have "struts", they are separate shocks and springs.

Second, you can't have Mag Ride without the F55, they are the same thing.

So, please check your RPO code sticker on the inside of the glove box door and see what codes it shows. Specifically check for suspension codes, FE1, FE2 or FE3 and whether F55 is shown. Then report back with the info.

Thanks.

If you bought the car used, my bet is that simulators were bought because the previous owner/owners didn't want to spend money on Magnaride shocks. That being the case, buy whatever shocks you want.

Bilstein Sports are a safe buy for everyday driving.
