Just need to do a little shopping.

I might recommend:

2004 CADILLAC XLR 4.6L V8 Shock Absorber | RockAuto

They're OEM and probably the best new price you'll find anywhere.

Good luck!

if your suspension module works then go for the z06 shocks and simulators. hundreds have changed over and they work great and the cost for everything is less than 1/2 the mag shocks. mag shocks. Just remember mag shocks worked great when new and everything else on the car was new. many like the cushy floating ride they give .others like to fell they have control of the car. If you are going to keep it for 4-5 years you might get the money out of the mag shocks but read the forums many have reported the new ones failed in less than a couple of years and a few thousand miles.

Don't know how good it works, but limited lifetime warranty on Delco shocks.

Hi Gord.

I did that 2 years ago and now 2 out of the mags 4 shocks are leaking…. again, and that is same problem on the recent Cadillac models.

Yes, there is a life time warranty, but you have to get them installed and pay for it, I purchased them at Rock Auto parts store, the dealer do not like to do necessary the replacement, unless you are a regular customer.

I plan to make the changes with the C6 regular shocks and the simulators, in order to solve the leaking problem ounce for all.…. like many others members did.

Regards.

what you want and has been proven to work well is the z06 upgrade . that is a step up for the older z06 shocks and many people corvette and XLR run them . They are as good or better than the base Bilstein's The performance Bilstein shocks seem to be pretty good for performance cars lowered and wider tires . I am not a fan as I run Koni been with them for 40 years but there are lots of good products by all the companies
z06 upgrades are 300-325$ for 4 shipped and do not buy used take offs, which cost more .you can buy the new oem from 1/2 dozen vendors. the casper sims are the best way to go . they are a quality proven product even though pricey for what they are .I install them on customers cars but on my car I get the same results for 20$

Isn't it just a resistor?
