Thanks for the input. My son swears by replacing the "seeping" rear shocks it will help. It has seemingly gotten progressively worse since about last summer, so we will see what new ones do. I absolutely loved how my regular 1SS suspension rode and it did fantastic on HPDE weekends as well.
I don't know if I want to get back into a 3rd Camaro or not and I have a 15 Mustang GT PP manual. The manual trans in those suck and are garbage. If I end up selling it, I'll probably end up in something Euro that's "entertaining" to drive yet comfortable. I drive about 15k a year. I also have a 22 Suzuki GSX-S1000 GT for my weekend "spirited" riding.

I'd say get SS shocks in all 4 corners and it will ride better. Also get rid of runflats. That would be the cheapest option. Trade in is expensive.

Also BTW, the stock good years are not run flats so those that are saying they are run flats are incorrect.

Local road quality also plays a big factor. I'm lucky to have some pretty smooth roads in my area, so even in the ZLE it's not that bad. Not having lumbar support does kind of suck for longer drives, though.

NickS, I just put brand new Supercar3's on as my previous Bridgestone/Conti combo wore out. Correct, they are not runflats. They were on my 1SS, but when I replaced them at like 13k miles, I did Michelin 4S's and they lasted 27k miles.
The roads around here are starting to get worse due to the influx of population and growth. It's far worse around where I grew up near Roanoke VA. Those back mountain roads are terrible.

I run MS4S tires on the street and the ride is firm but not harsh at all. https://www.kwsuspensions.com/products/coilovers/v3 I purchased my KWs from www.wildhammermotorsports.com

Do magride shocks "leak"?
What PSI you running? |

SLE is pretty comfortable in tour, but the 20" SC3s are pretty firm. Maybe go with 19" Michelins, it'll make a big difference. I used to have a set of 265/40/19s for winter, very noticeable difference vs the OEM tires.

Yes, the magneride shocks leak. Mine are in the rear.
I'm not really and truly wanting to get rid of the car, the ride has just gotten progressively worse and I'm not getting younger. I feel like it's worse when it's colder or hotter out.

If the ride is getting progressively worse than you probably just need to fix whats broken. The damping on the MRC dampers is very good. Most of the harshness of the ride is actually from how low profile the 1LE tires are. Your last SS Camaro didn't have 285/30/R20 tires up front I'm guessing. The cheapest solution for you would be to trade someone with the normal SS wheels and tires for your 1LE wheels and tires and maybe they throw in some cash. You'll still have your 1LE now more comfortable for no cost.

Replace 'em
OP: Absolutely replace the leakers as you're fist step and then reevaluate. Unlike conventional shocks, magrides warp and seize as their failure mode up to the point where you'll get no suspension articulation at all.
The rate of failure & replacement may dictate if you want to go with different aftermarket components, or consider a different setup. 100% agreement on ditching RFT/RoFs for conventional tire construction as a close 2nd step. |
