Luft Meister Magnetic Ride Shocks
Just cutting and pasting a note off the CTSV forum......"Some have said that the Luft Meisters are not MagnaRide Shocks. That they are just normal twin tube shocks that "tricks" the car into thinking they are MagnaRide to keep the suspension lights and warnings from triggering. True that they are not MagnaRide shocks, they are Electromagnetic with the same magneto-rheological fluid as the stock MagnaRide shocks. They can't say MRC (Magnetic Ride Control) or MagnaRide as those are trademarked technologies from the former General Motors/Delco chassis and suspension group that was sold to BWI (Beijing West Industries) Group. There is definitely a noticeable difference between Touring and Sport, so it is not just a trick."
Anyway, Luft Meister makes Mag ride replacement shocks for dozens of vehicles including Corvettes, CTSV's, Escalades and multiple other GM products plus dozens more for multiple manufacturers. I searched but don't see anything for the ZL1. How frustrating that the CTSV guys can buy them for peanuts and ZL1 owners are stuck for the moment. FWIW the shocks are made in China.

Appreciate this read. I am currently thinking about unloading my low mile SS for a 60K mile or less ZL1. One big hang up is the mag ride. My question is would you guys who own ZL1’s be willing to jump into one right now knowing there’s no new struts available and possibly not even in the future? I realize there are lots of other options for strut replacements but I would prefer for the car to work as intended.

My local mechanic mentioned that he replaces mag ride shocks on a frequent basis on late model GM products. Said the ride is horrific when they go out. Think if I was buying anything I would steer clear of cars with Mag Ride or cars with a DCT transmission. My Hellcat and Scat Pack don't have either so one less thing to fail. Just my 2 cents. When it comes to the 5th gen they are hard to beat for bang for the buck so for someone on a budget it still might be a good choice. Like my HCRE but it was 90K. Probably get a pristine low mileage ZL1 for about half that.

Are Rears Still Available?
Quote:
I think I need to just buy a new set of rears if there was anyone that had them (just in case) and then scramble for a front. Edit: I do see these rears on Summit and the parts number is a match. A little confusing since they call them gas filled and not mag ride.... ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Shocks and Struts 19300041 Shock/Strut, Rear, Gas-charged, Chevy, Each Part Number: ADO-580-445 5.0 out of 5 stars ( 5 ) In Stock (more than 16 available) Estimated Ship Date: Today Free Shipping $20.00 Summit Bucks $616.99 1 Add To Cart Compare Guys, is this the correct rear strut for replacement on our ZL1? Just want to confirm before I drop $1300.

Order Placed
Yes Sir BSN, that's a saving of $322 over the Summit price. I see them now. Got tired of worrying about no parts so I will have these in case I keep the car. Can make a pass at the strip without worrying that a rear might go out. Thanks for saving this old man a few dollars.

I read somewhere that the aftermarket suppliers cant do anything until the patent is up in 2025. Dont know how true that is.
