Aftermarket Adjustable Shocks
Has anyone heard if any of the big name manufactures are taking a "swing" at the 6th gen yet ?
..... it would be nice to see what a good set of Konis could do for the car |

So tire rack says they have koni yellows that fit. They are the same part number as the 5th gen so I'm pretty sure they will not work. I also think koni was recently bought out by someone and no longer in production.
I have heard you can get the factory bilstein shocks sent out and revalved and adjustable but I'm not sure who does it. That's all I really know for now.

Koni has a solution in the works, possibly available late this year is the last I heard.

Thats good news for FS Camaros! IDK why tire rack says all the 5th gen stuff will fit a 6th. normally they are much more on point with that kinda stuff.

MCS has a full lineup available for the 6g Camaro.
If you have MRC dampers, DSC Sport is finishing up their controller that lets you map your dampers as you see fit.

Yeah but MCS is a full coilover. From the sounds of it he wants just the shock.

Viking Performance has double adjustable shocks on the way. We are waiting for a early test set to come in so we can test them. I'm sure there will be coilover options available.

There are already coilover options available that cover the full budget spectrum-
BC ~$1,000 KW ~$1,500-$2,500 MCS ~$2,700-$6,000 It's the Koni/Bilstein adjustable OE-replacement stuff that isn't available yet. |

I am also curious if Koni ever releases 6th gen specific setup. Near solid DSSV are pain in the everything on the street. Looking forward to adjustable damping.
