Default 2003 MAG Ride (F55) Shock Replacement

Well at 19000 Miles and 6.2 years it appears that the shocks on my 2003 Aniv Cpe are leaking. Have had it verified by several places I trust. Not real please with GM as the car has had a very soft life, over the road only, I would have thought they should have gone longer.

And yes I understand they are expensive but I'd like to stick with the original if possible.

Does anyone out there have a parts source where I could get the OEM replacements without the GM costs?

Any help would be appreciated

If you ultimately decide that the price is too high, you can buy a resister kit that plugs into the wiring harness in place of the shocks. The kit contains four plug-in resistors with the correct corresponding plugs.

Then install the “regular” Z06 shocks that are very reasonably priced. You can always install the F55 shocks in the future.

Gene is the best source for both.
