I'm curious, what dampers are you thinking of getting for that cheap? I would be very surprised if there was one that costs so little the would give you the MRC Track mode equivalent feel you wanted while keeping your OE springs.

I'm not too sure what retailers you'll have available in Canada, but I did find you can get these parts for about 400$CAN each on ebay.ca so that seems more reasonable? Not sure how rockauto.com works for Canada either, but they might be a good resource as well. Google is actually pretty good if you search for one of those part numbers. I'd think filtering for .ca websites might even be useful for that?

Once you have dampers, are you planning to install yourself or take it to a dealer/shop to have them installed?

I ordered from RockAuto finally, they were the least expensive even for Canada. If you choose Fedex as the carrier, they include all taxes and duties. Hope I ordered the good thing hahaha. Is it easy to install? I mean my local shop should be able to do the replacement easily? Anything special to know? Thank you every one, I think it is better to just keep using electronic damper.

I was looking at OEM Camaro SS damper on Camaro w/o magnetic ride. In any case, I just ordered electronic damper, see my post above. I think it is better that way.

Gotcha. Yeah I agree. OE MR damper is the way to go.

As for the install it's pretty straightforward and any competent shop should be able to do it. Only extra step is to plug in the damper lol. Also have to make sure the ride height sensor doesn't get over-extended or otherwise broken during the process, but other than those two things it's exactly like installing it in any other car.
