Default 1995 Corvette Shocks/Tires

Does anyone have link or information you can give me reference installing stock shocks on 1995 Vette. It currently has Billstein "Extremes" installed which are too stiff. I already have the stock ones but I don't see anything on them which might connect to allow operation of the ride selection switch on center console inside car.
Does anyone know how to reactivate this ride suspension switch which is currently disabled?

Also, I have 11 inch wheels all the way around it with 335's in rear and 315's on front. I am having trouble finding tires to fit on them. Any suggestions? If I went with smaller size for 11 inch wheels what is best size? This will be mainly for street use.

I have the stock 9.5 inch wheels, but the 11 inch are really slick looking OEM Concept 5 spoke ZR1 knockoffs. I would really like to keep using them.

Can't really help you with the shocks since I don't have any experience withthe FX-3 system.

I would buy a set of matching 17x9.5" rims for the front and use 275/40/17 up front and 315/35/17 out back. You can always sell your other set of 17x11" rims or keep them to mount DR if you wanted to.
