They used to make for Gen 5 Camaro but when I asked them about the Gen 6, I was told that they have no plans for Gen 6 due to slow sales of the previous Gen model

Are you sure?...What did they say?

Here's a shot of the Camaro with the KW's installed. We went with a more track-focused setup, rather than slamming it as low as possible. Our builds see a ton of highway time since we drive them to shows around the country.

Initial thoughts after the first drive:

Handling and ride comfort are completely transformed. Between the added grip of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires, the lightweight HRE FF04's, and the KW V3's, our Camaro feels like a completely different car. It inspires a lot of confidence and has plenty of grip, even in the rain. Additionally, the ride is far better with the KW's than the OEM shocks & struts. We opted for a 2SS without Magnetic ride, and I'm glad we did because it made things less complicated.

KW's are the perfect all-around setup.

I will definitely be going with KW's on my own daily driver.





We also took it back to Derek and Ahmed at Habibi Motorsports for a new alignment and to set the camber & toe specs accordingly. If you need an alignment in St. Louis, they are the best in town. They have a high-end Hunter setup, which is perfect for lowered cars.

I would also like to point out that we couldn't set it up too aggressive since it's being driven all the way to Vegas and back for the SEMA show.

Have you ever had a chance to install them on Magne ride Camaro? What was the issue with that? any error codes with the simulator that comes with the KW kit?

I replied to that post. I think the OP didn't pay attention that in the video the Ohlins guy clearly states it's the first ever coilover kit for a Camaro (which is for the Gen 5 ). Ohlins have no plans to bring coilovers for the current gen Camaro and Moton is a custom solution (like the MCS) that I am trying to avoid :/

I would love to see a ready kit instead of getting some struts from them and custom fitment and of course the cost.

We didn't install them on a magnetic ride Camaro, ours doesn't have Magnetic ride. I know they do have a compatible kit though!

Has anybody used the CKS coilovers, they come across as expensive BC sets

Ohlin makes the shocks for the GT6R , won't be cheap, but

The reason I asked is because people on Corvette forum reported that even with the simulator some had issues with MRC as some features are buried in ECU so maybe it causes issues after a while

When I contacted with Ohlins they mentioned some race team custom designed the Ohlins TTX coilovers for the Camaro GT4R race car, he was not sure if it ever would be available to purchase so I don't know. TTX lines are typically $5k and above and that's the struts only AFAIK

I know that the MRC setup has been a real nightmare development-wise for a lot of suspension manufacturers.

If the ECU senses any changes to the MRC, it will basically put the car in "limp" mode and reduces the top speed to 70mph.

Don't quote me on the specifics, but I'm fairly certain that's why the aftermarket options are fairly limited right now.

It becomes harder to justify R&D costs when these things become an issue.

makes sense, obviously their target customer is not MRC owners and I wouldn't blame them for that since most of the MRC suspension owners also don't look for coilover options probably.
