Default ACDELCO Shocks

I plan to replace my F55 shocks w/ these shocks. I originally planned to order from elsewhere but rockauto offered them at a much lower price. My question is: Are these the correct shocks? (Yes, I understand I must "trick" the computer to think different; just worried about compatibility)

Yes, those are correct GM part numbers that they list in the description. But I have to ask, why bypass mag ride and replace with OE shocks of all things?

Thanks for such a speedy reply...I was almost certain that these were the correct shocks. Never hurt to double check though.
The current F55 shocks (Magnetic Air Ride) has gone bad on my Vette.Honestly, the price that they are asking for replacements I can not afford. So...I'm opting for these instead.

Gotcha. Have you checked the parts for sale in here? Some guys remove the system to go coil overs, etc, so you may be able to snag a good deal on some gently used take-offs.

Truth be told, I didn't even bother to give that a shot.
I will head over there in a few & see what I can come up w/.
If nothing then I will go the ACDelco (OEM) route...Do you know if these are ZO6 spec shocks or just a set of compatible plain-janes that I'm buying?

These are the Z06 shocks,
I have them on my GS and love them.

We have them at a good price and free shipping:

Thanks SubChev for the info.
I was told they were ZO6 spec shocks but I wanted to be sure about it.

I ended up ordering them from the link above earlier this morning before you answered.
But getting your response is a reassurance.

Do you guys happened to have a C6 Black leather/ Black stitching E-Brake boot in stock?
I've been searching everywhere...was told the same thing by everyone: They are on GM back-order.

This one is black w/ black, sorry.
I'm not sure why the title stated red, I attempted to fix it before you checked after testing my link, but you are very fast!

This is definitely black w/ black and I have plenty available

Thanks! I've been searching for about 2 weeks for this boot
Quick question: Does it come complete with plastic trim w/ metal brackets at the base?

Plastic, yes. No metal.

Whoa...so how does it remain clipped down?
Or do I have to go on the hunt for the metal clips myself?

I really would like to purchase this boot but I have to know the logistics first.
