magnetic shocks interchangeable?
I have a 2003 50th anniversary with f55 magnetic shocks, my right rear is shot the others are weak, my question is ... I found some new rear shocks at a good price ,they are listed for a f55 2008 to 2013 with fe2 suspension , my suspension is listed as fe1, does anybody know if these shocks will work for my 2003? thanks

I think physically they are the same and should bolt right in, but I am also worried about the compatibility of the electronics with the c5 and the c6 shocks and controlers. this is the part that is questionable. I found the c6 f55 OPTION with FE2 suspension shock much cheaper that's why I am asking, hummmm wonder if anybody know's???

Would you consider removing the Mag ride control? You can get C6Z06 shocks and have the system disabled by the Dealer via GM Tech II.... You will want to search for the directions on what menus to look for and adjust because most GM techs will tell you it cant be done because they dont know how and have never seen it done..
10313647 – C6 Z06 Front Shocks
25819268 – C6 Z06 Rear Shocks
you can swap shocks and reprogram and be done for 400-500 tops. Otherwise it is BIG $$$$$$$$$$$ for F55 shocks.
As for compatibility I would think you will need to find the voltage ranges for both shocks and give it a try... dont know how they will work...
