WTB Suspension control module

I’m looking for a used suspension control module from a ZL1 1LE. Part number 84214461.

Best bet is entire package from eBay... (in my experience)

I have replaced the MRC with the Multimatic DSSV suspension from a ZL1 1LE. When I did this I used shock simulators and suspension ride height sensor simulators. I used ride height simulators because it sounds like when people don’t use them it is more likely for the shock simulator to go bad. Since going to this setup I have had some brake bias issues and through some research I have found that this car uses electronically controlled brake proportion valves to control brake bias on the fly as needed. I imagine the weight transfer of the car when braking and turning with affect the commanded brake bias. Which is why I want to regain the use of the ride height sensors. I have heard that I can install a ZL1 1LE suspension control module and it will eliminate the need for shock simulators and still allow me to use the ride height sensors and will hopefully correct my issues.
This is why I need a suspension control module from a ZL11LE specifically. I have checked everywhere I can think of and can only find modules for a car with MRC. Both cars use the same part number, it appears the programming is different. I have access to Global Connect and can program factory calibrations but to my knowledge cannot install a program for a different car on my car. Technically the module swap I want to do shouldn’t work but I think it is worth a try at this point.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Several on ebay right now for $50-60. Won't matter if it's manual or auto afaik.

It works for me. Much better option than spending $500 on $50 worth of resistors, wire and plugs that often fail.

I thought user @GunMetalGrey reported having issues when trying to use one that came from a car with the other transmission? Maybe not?

That was the brake module.

I really have checked and continue to check everywhere I can think of including eBay. There are a lot of suspension control modules for sale. All I have found so far are for mag ride not dssv. I have access to gm global connect so I can run the vin and check the suspension rpo code.
Still looking. If you have one hit me up!

OTOH, do the ZL1 1LEs come with the shock controller since the DSSV don't need it? If you're not certain, maybe ask in the ZL1 forum if someone can take a look in their trunk to confirm it's confirm it's present or not?

I'd bet that any Camaro sus module from a car w/o magride will work. DSSV has absolutely no electronics attached to it.

No problem!

They do. I have one in my car, I just switched to MCS coilovers. I have no idea what it does, the only other electronics are the suspension position sensors.

I found mine on ebay, it was plug and play and I've had no issues with DSSV.

This one says it was pulled from a regular Camaro SS that shouldn't have magride.
