Should have an MRC car hopefully soon so we can get some testing to see how it will work.


Those look good, but it sounds like you are planning on using the same exact spring for MRC? It does work but their is a lot of reasons why the big boys dont have kits for MRC cars....
Lowering springs work on MRC ONLY if you also install calibrated shorter
control rods! Did it on my 2014 Twin Turbo CTS Cadillac via D3 Performance in LA area(signal hill). They may be working on a kit for the Camaro??

Thank you Chuck for chiming in with ACTUAL working experience and echoing what I have been trying to convey to these guys! You don't just slap a lowering spring on these....

They have repeated countless times that they will make adjustments necessary. Never did they say that they will just slap on the springs. They said they will put them on and see how the car will react, to then make adjustments to make the springs work with the car.

LOL, actually yes they are slapping springs on, read it again, its already a proven fact on multiple models that their are other modifications needed to do it correctly.....these wont work alone if we are looking for optimal performance, no testing needed....

If I may ask, how much did your setup cost for the CTS?

I think about $600, but best to call D3 Performance in The LA area.
really lowered the car nicely and worked well with the MRC.

Thanks for getting back to me. Yep, I will speak to them when time comes. I am also watching to see what Phastek brings to us.

Also interested in the lowering kit Chvey is working on.

Exciting times!!!

Springs are installed. Tomorrow, I am going back to the shop for an alignment and to try and diagnose a slight clunking sound over bumps. Once everything is dialed in and the car is aligned I will do a full review.

Something is either loose, or it is the "coil slap" noise I was worried about in the other thread. Is is common on coils that do not have the sleeves or silencers installed to prevent the coils from hitting each other.
