Try Rock Auto. The shocks for my f55 are no longer available either but they had a full set, frnt & rear. Don't know what it will cost for f45, but my set was $1400! Not cheap. You can change to others and eliminate the f45 ( at least you can on f55) but if you want to keep your car factory original like I did then dig deep. GM does does not make them anymore considering the age of the car and new technology . I went crazy trying to find a full set, but thanks to a tip from another forum member about RA I lucked out. Would have bought another set just to have for latter date since I'll never sell the car but drained the piggy bank on that set for the season. Good Luck

Are there any air shocks even made for a C4? If so, why would you want to use them? That's not a rhetorical question: I'm actually asking, in case there might be an alternative way to accomplish your goals.
