Piece of cake. Find somebody with a GM Tech II and delete the F55 option. I'm sure somebody else will chime in with the exact procedure.

I have an 03 that had the F55 suspension. I replaced the shocks with Bilsteins and had the F55 disabled by a shop with a Tech II, as mentioned in some earlier posts. You can still drive the car, you will just be limited to 80 mph until it is deleted.

What is your location? Maybe someone can chime in with a place that can delete the F55.
