Your friend has three options:
- Remove the shocks and ride control computer. Have the F45 option removed from the computer with a TechII device. Dealers and many tuners will have one.
- Purchase and install shock simulators (they plug into the harness at each wheel).
- Make your own simulators from large resistors. Instructions can be found with a thorough search.

If you have a 99 you do NOT have magnetic ride. You would have Real Time Dampening, Selective Ride F-45 Option.
You can completly remove the F-45 RPO from the BCM and no longer worry about it. You will need access to a GM Tech II to accomplish that.
OR
Install SIMs or resistors!!
Ditch that foolish crap and install some C6 ZO6 shocks $250 New from Gene Culley. 100% OEM bolt in replacement!
Then get ya some C6 ZO6 Sway Bars and end links or a set of used C5 Z-51 or ZO6 sway bars.
