In 95 if you did not have the adjustable suspension which came with the Z07 handling package then you had the standard FE1 base suspension. If it was a very early 95 you might have the firmer springs which were changed to a very soft spring later in the 95 production run. Yellow Bilsteins were standard with both suspensions though the Z07/adj. suspension were firmer shocks. This base suspension responds very well to installing the Z51 Bilsteins.

Z51 Bilstein Shocks & FE1 Springs = Best of both worlds

I have black shocks on my 95 LT1 with the FE1 suspension. Does this mean these are aftermarket?

Yes... at least the paint is.
