Non-MRC
To any of you SS guys without MRC what do you think of it. Hows the ride quality, how's the performance? Just curious because my local dealer a Hyper Blue 2SS, M6, White Pearl Rally Stripes, NPP, and Sunroof. Beautiful car. Anyways I'm just wondering about the non-MRC suspension. Thank you

I don't own a 16 yet, but I've test driven 2 without MRC. What I can say is if you've never had MRC, you won't miss it. They drive very nice, very similar to the 5th gen. I will not be buying MRC on my 16 SS simply because I enjoy it plenty without it.

I have owned a 2014 z51 stingray without MRC and a 2015 z51 with MRC. I really couldn't tell a big difference between the two. My 2016 SS doesn't have it and the car drives significantly better than my last gen 5 ZL1 Camaro, so the MRC won't be missed. Not to say it doesn't add value, as it is a technological marvel, but unless you intend to do a ton of canyon carving, you probably won't miss it. If you can find a 2016 with it, would be worth test driving to test it out to end any second guessing though.

You won't lose a minute's sleep over it and when the MRC guys start having to shell out big bucks to fix them, you'll be even happier.

There has been multiple threads related to this topic.
MRC, doesn't add anything to the handling equation unless the road is bumpy. The best skid pad and slalom numbers tested so far have come from a car without MRC. Plus, if you are looking to track your car, the standard suspension will allow for further upgrades like coilovers. Personally, I wouldn't bother with MRC unless you drive on lots of bumpy roads, or take long trips. As the main benefit of having MRC is a cushy ride. |

Both of our camaros are non mrc and they ride very nicely
Smooth to me and way better feeling than the 13 SS we had. |

Based purely on early reviews the generation 6 Camaro SS handles perfectly fine without MRC, however is probably a bit on the harsh side (the run flats probably contribute a bit to this), so the big benefit for the Camaro to have MRC isn't with sporty driving but with the ability to make the car ride soft. This really becomes subjective as some people are fine with driving a race car on the streets for example while others would just rather not. It is a lot like the automatic vs manual, some people don't mind driving a manual transmission car in traffic while for others it kills it for them. For me I have to consider what I would want to do and how I would want to use a gen 6. If I were to keep the car stock and want to enjoy it as is I probably would opt for a 2SS with MRC, NPP, sun roof. If I were to modify the car then I would probably order a 1SS with no options on it...... |

I have MRC and I'll be honest, It didn't make the difference i thought it would. now, I say that but I have yet to drive one without it. I'm guessing because its a the car that it is its going to be stiffer than something like my dads car I've driven (Audi A4). I guess I just though it would be like coasting down a bumpy road but not feeling any of the bumps? We know thats not very realistic though.

Shocks are put to the test on a road course or slalom, not skid pad. I'd be surprised if MRC shocks don't offer a performance benefit over the standard twin tube design. That is good that even the standard suspension has had good reviews - I'm leaning towards non-MRC at the moment. I'd love to see a back to back test with both setups including lap times and racer's feedback on the difference in body control. |

I'll enjoy replacing my non mrc shocks when the time comes without having to take out a loan to do it.
