I respect everyone's opinion and agree with "mggeyer" for the most part. When it comes to R&D no aftermarket options come close to the OEM offerings IMO. I also don't feel like that I can ever reach the true potential of this car at least any time soon.

All that said, in my experience (each has different opinions and expectations especially because of the setup and goals in mind, it seems like I can benefit more from going with the upcoming Multimatic DSSV suspension for the 18' Z28 1LE for the reasons below:
- current suspension tune is designed perfectly for the current setup but once you start changing things like tire compound/softness and/or wheel width. My reason for changing those is not necessarily because they're not "enough" but because the keep the consumables low as once you start overheating tires they get destroyed pretty quickly and the tires are expensive on OEM sizes
-Lighter wheels/tire combo (9lbs per corner!!) will also better on consumables
-DSSV has probably higher spring rates which might be a good way to eliminate body roll when/if you ever go with real R comps (another option is the "DSC " controller which I recently learned about)
-DSSV is also designed for ZL1 1LE which weighs about the same with the 1LE (only 30 lbs heavier) and more importantly the upcoming F1 Supercar 3R tires.
-I have been in 1LE with DSSV multimatic (previous gen 1LE) and the ride was quite good. MRC will probably be better for street but because of that it has to use softer springs and adjust compromise and use softer springs and make up for the difference in damper tuning. Ideally it would be something like C7 Z06 Z07 package that has very firm springs and MRC tune based on that.
