Nah.....I don't think the car needs it really. I will find out for sure when I eventually track it.

Did aFe buy Pfadt? Thought Pfadt closed their doors years back. This is great news as I loved Pfadt on my Gen5

Ride quality wise, I have no complaints. The responsiveness of the MRC has remained the same excellent response as it was before. The ride hasn't gotten noticeably harsher either.

Great stuff as usual from AFE/Pfadt

Thanks for your time and feed back.

Has anybody actually measured the amount of drop they are getting from the aFe springs? on my NON-mrc ss, I only got 1 1/8 up front, 11/16 in the rear compared to stock.....

kropscamaro16 · 11-20-2016, 02:42 PM

i never measured but this is what the website says

afe Control is proud to release the Lowering Springs for the 2016 Camaro 6.2L V8. These springs are Made in the USA and are engineered to optimize the factory shock absorber damping and are compatible with both standard, and MRC "Magnetic Ride Control". On Non MRC cars the springs offer a 1.25" front drop and 1.5" in the rear for the perfect blend of performance and style. MRC cars can expect a 7/8" front drop and 1" in the rear. For years of durability and great looks, the springs are powder-coated a special 2 stage tangerine orange. aFe Control lowering springs will increase cornering and handling performance, giving you the confidence to take that turn without adversely affecting ride quality. The lowered stance will transform the way your Camaro looks, as well as offer improved aerodynamics. Designed as a direct fit application these springs require no modifications to the vehicle.

I've read that but I did not get that amount of drop. That's why I am asking what others have got... Ive drove it a couple days now to give it time to settle but still no lower than the initial drop in the rear.... maybe I could loosen the bushings in the rear with weight on them to allow it to relax another 3/4 or so?

Im not sure because I dont know who or what Jacobs car looks like. I did notice that my rear springs dont look like the ones advertised. Mine are tightly wound up top with greater space between the bottom 3/4 portion of the spring.

They should settle i thought that at first but then i had the alignment and had all the bushing indexed at the shop and it setlled very good. I got the drop that is advertised but im non-mrc
