Anybody know anything about these?

I'm thinking they would be a nice update for the C8. And maybe the 10 speed auto.

Oh, I guess I was mistaken!? ;)
Why would Anybody order standard adjustable shocks over MRC technology? I thought they were a real track guys solution in a heavier car like the ZL1 1le. Perhaps they are that option for the guy doing his own. The formula doesn't change!

I had dssv in my zl1 1le. Amazing for spirited driving. Not so much for just riding down the road. I actually hit my head a couple times on surface streets. If you’re gonna live on the track, dssv. If you’re going to drive your car other places as well, mag ride. Trust me.

The advantage of manually adjustable shocks is that you can change the handling balance with them, i.e., softer in the rear, stiffer in the front, whereas with the MRC you are stuck with whatever the factory gives you. Just another tuning tool.

OMG why are people scared of the 8 speed DCT? I don't get it...all super cars have DCT transmissions not old tech automatic gear boxes with torque converters!
