There are a couple of solutions for deleting magride. It turns out it uses a good bit of power, so some kits have large dummy resistors and one other part that I'm not sure exactly what it is for the ride height sensor. I saw another kit that piggybacks onto the OBD port, I like this because it doesn't use resistors so the car isn't using power to heat up a bunch of resistors. Next would be tuning it out, but I haven't cheacked into this to see if it's possible.

On MCS coilovers, I'm going RR2, the remote res 2-ways. It's $1k more than the non-RR, but there's significant differences in the base tune between the two, RR ramps up faster to the high speed circuit and has a lot more rebound damping overall. Vorshlag says the RR is intended more for track, TT for a dual purpose car. And going 3-way would offer benefits if hitting curbing, it has adjustible high speed compression. It's a decent jump in price and I have to draw the line somewhere. MCS referred me to Vorshlag for Camaro applications, they sell camber plates and rear upper mounts that you may find useful too.

As far as DSC, you'd really have to be dedicated to shock tuning and willing to spend expensive track time to test and tune, and even then, there's A LOT of variables. The amount of test and tune time is going to make the initial investemnt in the coilovers seem cheap, and at the end of the day you have no guarantee they'll be better than a high quality "dumb" system like MCS.
Thanks for the info, I assume there’s a reasonably wide range of hide adjustment. I’m sure vorshlag will give me exact details. I’m not sure if they sell The resistors your mentioning or not, I’ve asked them as well.

You’re making me think of getting three-way adjustable myself, although I’m concerned there’s more for me to screw up haha I do like the idea of being able to adapt better to more variety of different circumstances on track and the street, since it seems these would also be more comfortable as well.
However, I’ve heard the remote reservoirs can be a PIA, and there are greater risks involved with the lines...

Can anyone chime in to the ride quality of the system for the street when adjusting them to a more comfortable setting compared to the DSSV’s on the ZLE? I don’t want to end up buying these and hitting them when I drive them on the highway., I don’t do city street driving, so at least the roads will be smooth and in good shape
