I know this should go in the suspension area but we popular here GOOD COILOVERS

I have a 2017 with about 20K miles, makes 600RWHP, has everything BMR, and lowered on Eibachs. I looked long and hard for a FIFTY with MRC and had to settle without. I didnt think it was a big deal but was I so wrong. My first FIFTY had MRC with Eibachs and it was an amazing ride. This car rides like a skateboard or a 95 civic with cut springs. In fact it feels dangerous at times. All my BMR parts are the fully adjustable control arms, toe, trailing, sway bars, etc. I spent a ton and even took the car to a performance Chevy dealer for a rather expensive aliment. At this point I can only imagine this car needs some coilovers that are soft. I dont track the car and all the work is just for looks or because I dont leave shit alone. My C8 does not have MRC and on Eibachs its great. C7 is slammed on bolts and does have MRC and is fine. This car sucks. I didnt spare an expense, at this point I just want a reasonably priced coilover I can adjust low and have a decent ride. I am thinking $700-$1100 am I out of my mind? I did bag it but sold the kit because that was worse. To be fair I didnt align with the air ride.

BMR arms with poly might be part of the issue.
Koni just released coilovers but they're $2k and you'd need to have them revalved and sprung softer for what you're looking for.

Honestly I would call Anthony at Silvers and Mike Proulx at Viking. The viking twin tubes can be valved however you want and will get you a plenty soft ride. Get the rubber mounts for the rear coilovers instead of the monoballs.

Silvers will be the absolute best bang for the buck while still being reliable and having good support as far as the Taiwan coilovers go. Vikings will probably be close to $2k but are arguably a little nicer, and can probably be better set up for a high hp straight line car.

Matt, I really appreciate you taking the time to send me all those details. Once I finish these headers and the nitrous kit on my C8. I am going to spend some quality time on the Camaro. Sadly it just sits because I hate driving it. Its really that bad.
