I’ve been running the 2WNR for a while now, they’re great.

Now how would MCS compare to let's say DSSV or DSC Sport DDA RT Coilover Kit?

I haven't run the Tractive coilovers, but I did run the DSC box with magride and upgraded custom springs front and rear.

The MCS is a better real-world damper than the DSSV. The DSSV is phenomenal, but gives you no ability to adjust for changing conditions, such as softening the car up for rain.

The MCS is also just a simple, traditional motorsports quality damper. I had a couple of hiccups with the DSC box and when I went with the big wing decided to just stick with a standard damper.

It worked out quite well.

None of the people who knew what they were taking about had anything bad to say.

Mag ride is so much better for the OEM design parameters, but I’ve...um....exceeded those parameters.

Another benefit of the MCS is that they move the strut inboard, that’s the key to running 12” wheels up front.

This is the real win. I just replaced my DSSV setup with MCS 2wnr so I can run 12's up front. They fit under ZL1 fenders with the extra inside clearance no problem. If any of the fast 200tw tires get released in 335 I would seriously consider 13's. It'd take a lot of careful measurement before committing to it though.

If anyone asks what makes the MCS stuff so badass, it's how it enables killer wheel/tire fitment. Here is 18x12 square with 315 A052. Once some of the fast 200TW tires get released in 335, it's a possibility to run 12.5" or even 13" and likely keep the tire off the fender. That's pretty aggressive, so it's gonna take quite a bit of measurement and careful offset selection.

Yeah. Honestly I was happy with how the DSSV drove with the A10 rears, the car just wasn't going to get any faster unless it could fit more tire. In retrospect 12" front was too conservative with the extra room the MCS provide. I think 12.5" is well within the realm of possibility.
