It will probably be later in the year. That's fine with me.

I have thought about it but I drive my cars daily and put on over 100K miles. I suspect I will need the replace the shocks at some point. The price on 2006 MSRC shocks is about $600. The price I found on a 2012 was over $1000 per shock.

Does anyone know if they can be bought for less?

Good point. I must of had some type of "out of body experience". Yikes!!!

I did order the FAY package, but my wife can assure you I am not the least bit light in the loafers (not that there's anything wrong with that). Ha.

Still suggesting he OP spend the extra $ for Mag Ride. It will make this a Jonnie Be Everything car. Good luck.

If you drive the car that much I'd think you'd definitely want the MSRC as it's the best riding combination available. The Z51 w/o MSRC will be fairly sporty. You rarely hear about MSRC shock failures even with 2003-2004 C5s when it was first introduced.

Out of your combination the only thing I'd add would be yellow calipers. It'd be stunning w/ the blue and Kalahari.

If the bulk of your driving is over good roads the MSRC may not be worth it for you. Unless you see yourself keeping the car for 10 years I would not worry about replacement cost for shocks.

Great, after seeing that 458 you now got me thinking about adding the yellow calipers.
