Holy Crap!
That has got to be a record for miles on shock stuffers! Too bad the previous owner had 100k miles of miserable ride. Good for you for finding these so quickly after you got the car, shocks should feel like new now, especially in the Tour mode.

Are these stuffers in all C5's, or just 2003?

Only in the 03 & 04 models w/F55 shocks - usually the Anniversary Edition and Commemorative Edition.

And the story continues ;^(
Amazing, but sad that so many owners suffered such a lousy ride experience for so many years.
Seems the some of new Camaros may have a somewhat similar problems
• Remove the spring spacers from the front suspension and place them in the glove box for the customer. If the car is to be on a trailer for any reason, the spacers need to be placed back in the front springs to obtain ground clearance.
Note: Initially, the ZL1 Camaro front spring spacers will be black. In near future, they will be made yellow for easier visibility.

Wonder if any of theses "spacers" get left in at delivery...................

Although my '04 does not have the mag ride...I am curious and would like to see a picture of what the shock stuffer looks like.
Anyone still have one?

Here you go,
A pair, upside down. The yellow pull tab hangs out from the shock boot so they can be easily pulled out of the mounted shock.

The $15 was slated to go to the steak dinner I believe I owe you (yet you kindly refuse) for helping me find my shock stuffers.
