Ok after looking into the china shocks im going to say it should be a hard pass. I am still working on it but they are not mag shocks as listed. They are actually a very cheap made shock with a built in simulator. So all you are getting is a shock with a bypass. For a little more you are better off to get the z06 upgrade not china but delco or the bilsteins and an external simulator. I will be doing a video on this to support my findings at this time

Hey There..... Still haven't done anything about the shocks. You seem to be a fan of the Bilsteins. Can you guide me to the correct part nos. for front and rear and the likely cost?
 
BILSTEIN 24029766 for rear
BILSTEIN 24029759 for front.
You'll need a working suspension module and simulators
Or a suspension module bypass.
 
Thanks for the info, I’ll check them out. Are you also referring to the M&P USA GM Magna Ride sensors? Do you have any idea of the cost of the Bilsteins?
 
I use the casper simulators. About 200 us$ bilsteins are about 500-550 us$. Id look for a performane auto parts in canada and see what they have. I personally like the gm z06 upgrade. The z06 was a little firmer than stock corvette which helps make up the heavier xlr. Then z06 people wanted a little firmer than stock so a gm upgrade. They usually run a little less than the bilsteins
