Default Magna Ride Suspension

I think its safe to say my new to me 05 Coupe is no longer a magnaride car... And it seems the program has been taken out as I have not gotten any messages on the dic and have had it over a 100. Anybody have any pros or cons except for cost......

Cost to replace magnetic ride shocks isn't cheap. You can probably find some for sale in the sale section.

What brand shocks are currently on the car? If they are not the F55 units, then the programs has been turned off by a tuner. I changed my F55 shocks for Bilstein Sports and it made an entirely different handling car out of it.

I happen to have 4 excellent condition F55 shocks if you wish to return back to the mag shocks.

It has the standard base C6 shocks. It has the Eckler shock simulators, found them this morning.... So program is still in computer. If I did change back it should be a simple plug and play installation. How many miles and what kind of price are you asking for your F55s ?

My F55 shocks came from my 2005 that I have owned since it was born. These had 72k miles on them and worked perfect. No leaks. Actually, never driven in the rain. I will take $400 for all 4.

Drop me a PM if interested

Those F-55 shocks are a lot more comfortable than the base shocks. Who wants a rough ride that will tear up your car and body.

My 2013 has just the base shocks and I like the ride. I did not want the mag shocks as I did not notice a lot of difference in the ones I drove with the mag shock option.
I also did not want the added expense of replacing them at some point.
