If you have the 50th Anniversary edition, then you have the Magnetic Selective Ride Control. It is part of the package.

if you have f55, you'll have a rotary switch in front of the center storage with performance, sport, something... on it

you can see your rpo codes on the inside of the glove compartment. look for Z51 or F55 on the list of codes.

There should be a label on the inside of your glove compartment door that lists all the options installed on the car. IIRC on the 50th AE, MSRC was standard equipment and Z51 was not an option for that model.

Put the new bars on!!! You'll love it!

THe bars you have currently are not Z51... the are part of the base FE1 suspension package... the F55 shocks are an upgrade to the base suspension.
