Replacing factory front shocks. Help!

So I own a 1997 C5...I'm replacing my front OEM shocks but my factory shocks have a plug in. I believe its for either soft ride or real time dampering. Either way I bought a set of Johnny O'connels that doesn't have the plug in... what can I do to bypass or fix this situation???

You may however not be able to program out just the front shocks... The rear shocks will still need to receive a signal from the computer to function at all.

Yep... Here it is...

Good luck... And welcome to the Corvette Forum!

The resistors you will need are 10ohm 10watt. If you don't know anyone with a Tech II
