Because some customers have asked for a softer ride, and they didn't want to compromise the handling. Their track special cars do not have MRC...

100% false. Good coilovers when adjusted correctly will ride great. You can pick spring rates and dampening to suit your taste...

For a daily driver, MRC is great. But if someone is looking more so towards a track car, it would not be the recommended choice.

Havent been following the rebirth much, but its 2SS or nothing, however, options is the question.

Im a fireman and drive 1-1.5 hours to work and home once every 6 days, otherwise just rollin around towntown



What benefits do these options offer to justify getting them?

Thanks in advance!

Hey Jeanius,
My dad has mrc on his 15 SRT challenger. It's like you have three different cars at your disposal at the push of a button. From a soft caddy ride to a snugged up tight almost track worthy beast....except its still a bloated challenger. I've ordered mrc on my 6th gen...easy choice for me.

The NPP is a must just because it's a steal at $900. MRC depends on how you're using it. It's fantastic and completely changes the demeanor of the car between Mercedes smooth to Z/28 stiff. If you're going to be driving a lot I'd consider it a must have.

I drove a bit into an urban area with really bad streets to test drive the 2SS. While going over some of the worst crap I had seen in recent times it handled -wonderfully-

I can only imagine how bad it would have been without MRC.

After modding the living hell out of all my cars, I wanted a car that I truly did not have to touch much. Npp and the tri-y headers fixed my need to touch the exhaust (minus getting rid of the un-monitored cats on the xpipe which is all connected to 1 pipe being the NPP if you get it, so you will have to literally cut it out and replace it with a pipe) and MRC fixed my need to touch the suspension. At least the struts, lowering springs is still a big MAYBE for me as I am happy the way the car sits. It could drop just a little but I don't go "OMG I NEED LOWERING SPRINGS".

There is a reason why MRC exists and why Ferrari even uses it. People are entitled to their opinions of course, saying coilovers are better or strut+spring combo is. Coilovers are ONLY good for TRACK ONLY. They exist so you alter your suspension before and after the lap to get better times (stiffness, height, etc), not to mention that you are looking at 2 grand AT LEAST for a good set of coilovers. So why not just get the MRC and let it do all the work plus FULL factory warranty? Also the fact that you can CHANGE the settings for BOTH the NPP and MRC. Why wouldn't you want that? Haha. Maybe you are just exhausted and want a really smooth and damn quite ride? Maybe you want to be in a fun mood and suspension stiff and great sound? You have a choice.

May have just sold me

Nothing great but definitely not bad either. If you're on the fence about those, you can just change the pads the next time you get a brake job to Hawks or something and it should improve your stopping power over the stock pads dramatically.

I wouldn't get the sunroof if you care about performance. It adds weight at the top of the car, raising your center of gravity. The higher center of gravity is worse than the weight itself for performance...plus you lose that awesome looking roof line. It's all in what you want though.

I hate to make this harder, but a lot of people aren't aware of the blade spoiler since it only shows up at the dealer as an option. I picked that and the front fascia extension because I liked the looks better...all personal preference.

Are you saying the blade spoiler is now available for order?

It is on the supplier pricing configurator $690 option and is available for order. I Don't know of any installed yet except the SEMA cars so we really don't exactly know what it looks like yet.

My cousin also a fireman in Cali. Also drives insane distance to the station for his duty rotation, but I suppose that's part of the beauty of it, only once a week or whatever.

Also, if you can only get one of the two, I'd go with MRC before NPP (dual exhaust). You can always add aftermarket exhaust in a couple years if you aren't happy with the sound.

2014 4Runner, but I drive a 2010 Acura TSX to work, T4R is the family car

My stock suspension is nice and I have not once thought, damn I wish I had it. Now my NPP exhaust is awesome. I still say it is better than my open header G8 GT exhaust. Im not sure what kind of technology is into this exhaust but it sounds awesome. I will never, ever want to change exhaust systems. One thing I do not like is I have never experienced so much gravel being kicked up by more cars. Im not sure why but if any gravel is in a parking lot, you can here it all over the bottom of your car and scares me that I am damaging paint.

is the ride height lower on the MRC equipped cars?

I got both... came from a non MRC sports sedan with a relatively quite exhaust (CTS-V1), never did the exhaust because I didn't want the loud droning that comes with those. The thing is, if you're cool with a stiff car and a loud exhaust - just don't get those options and stick a cat-back on it when those come out. However, having MRC and NPP allow the car to be completely transformed from a supple GT car to a full-on muscle car with a jarring ride and barking exhaust. I personally love being able to set things to standard (comfort) and cruise along with one hand on the wheel, listening to my tunes, from time to time. You'll love the car either way though, just can't go wrong here!

[Jeanius]

Anyone know what differences I may encounter trying to lower the car with MRC? It def needs to come down about 1"
