Soft Ride (FE1)
I have a 2003 Corvette Convertible with "Touring" and "Sport" suspension settings. This model was $91,000 in 2003 and has the famed Ferrari "magnetic" ride package.
Do I have stock the "Soft Ride (FE1)" shock absorbers or not?

91,000 in 03? Ok Maybe for a Ferrari. Not a Corvette.

"The technology was originally developed by General Motors Delphi Automotive Division based in the USA and then developed further by BeijingWest Industries in China after BeijingWest Industries bought the technology from General Motors. BeijingWest Industries has subsequently introduced improvements including a redesigned ECU and the introduction of a dual coil system."
Pity they sold it to China, IMO.
