For those that converted to MCS, is the only thing necessary to delete mag ride getting a suspension control module (84214461) from a ZLE? Does anything else need to get re-calibrated? Or any other simulators / resistors?

I don't think so.

Nope, just plug and play, nothing else required.

Alrighty, bought a ZLE module from an '18 and deposit down! Hopefully ZLE manual vs ZL1 auto doesn't cause any issues. Can't wait, about 5 week lead time right now.

Did you go 2-way remote or non-remote?

Non-remote.

Cool, makes things simpler. I have the remotes, which adds an additional tuning tool, but requires a little more time and set-up to account for. I mostly use mine as a fine tuning tool if I use different tires with different sidewall stiffness.

I will run more canister pressure on the softer sidewall tires and less with stiffer ones, while not having to touch the damping curves/clicks

Looking at MCS 2 way remotes for my SS 1LE. Can someone provide pictures of where they placed the remotes? Especially the rear ones, fronts seem relatively straight forward. Also, for those that have a helper spring in the rear, how did you decide to install that. Vorshlag site has no mention of them. Thanks!

Rear on the wheelwells using the MCS mounting kit, fronts right next to the strut towers... driver's side to the rear outside of the tower, passenger side on the front side. I moulded a piece of kydex to protect them and then zip tied everything down.

I'm thinking of getting the Detroit Speed brace for the rears... anyone have it?

Pic is of the rear res, just made a little cutout to reach the knob.

Sweet, thanks for that. What spring rates are you running, and are you happy with them? How about track vs street?

750 front, 850 rear.

I just got a few days in at High Plains Raceway and also have a few AutoX events in this year. I'm really happy with them, combined with a Hotchkis ft and ZLE rear bar both on medium the car is really well balanced. I had a couple very experienced guys ride with me and they were very impressed. One mentioned he wouldn't change anything now, but that I need to start driving with all nannies off so I can induce some oversteer via trail braking and throttle in some situations, and once I'm comfortable with that he'd increase spring rates and damping a bit, but he said the car was very well balanced. I'm pretty comfortable driving like that at autox speeds but not at 75+ mph yet.

For autox the cars limits overall are improved, it transfers weight fast and takes a set fast. In situations with combined inputs the car doesn't get upset as easily.

I'm running Ferodo 3.12 pads and braking is still the cars strong point, I can gain a couple car lengths on just about everything out there in the braking zone. It takes a bit for people riding with me to not freak out a little, at first they think there's no way I'm going to make that corner.

Street isn't as bad as you might think... it's firm but if you dial down the compression damping most of the way it helps a ton.

I honestly can't wait. I did Ozark International this past weekend, and it was borderline undriveable. My friend that went for a ride along got car sick there was so much movement. My friend following my line said he could see 6+ inches in my suspension travel. Same with towing. When we hit bumps, my car bounces an absurd amount. I've checked all of my bushings and there is no play or fluid leaking. Also don't see any magnetic fluid on my struts, but after 2500 track miles, it almost sounds like the shocks are shot.

Yeah, sounds like your shocks are done. Magride is way overdamped in track mode so they're doing a lot of work. If your shocks are worn out you're left with a very softly sprung car without nearly enough damping.

You have any more pics of the rear mounting in the wheelwell? A bunch of us have mouted the rears in the trunk thru the trunk vents.
