You edited your post and lost your initial questions.

But, MSRC is only available with Z51"

FE4 Suspension, Z51 performance with Magnetic Selective Ride Control, includes (B4Z) Performance Traction Management
1 - Requires (Z51) Z51 Performance Package.

those are the seats I'm ordering!
what is your exterior color?
I'd go with the 3LT, if you can afford.
I did on my 2015 Z06, it makes the interior and I'd prefer to get the Gt2 seats included with the 3LT

I don't know how you expect anyone to help you. If you want the lift, you gotta go with MSRC, no choice there at all. As for seats, it should be your preference. Order what you like best.

You have to get MSRC to get lift if your car is going to be ordered in September and built in 1st 2 weeks. Otherwise, you can get the lift without MSRC if ordered October or later.

No true orders go in against an allocation until September what’s the hurry, just strange. Take your time dealer needs to be patient at least still September 1st.

They are building certain cars, with certain options and colors during certain order periods and build periods.
you DO NOT need z51 or mag ride to order the front lift.

However, you DO need a 2LT package to get the lift in any way, shape or form.

So the first order period (SEPT) will consist of ONLY 2LT and 3LT cars, with NO lift and NO magnetic ride
also with magnetic ride and NO lift
and with magnetic ride and front lift.

in (OCT) they expand it to include 2LT/3LT cars with front lift and NO magnetic ride....etc down the line.

I'm assuming you are talking about the front E60 lift that raises the nose of the car, right?

Thanks very much grater explanation-
yes referring to the E60 lift -

the lift is really the only thing that would hold my car back from being built right away -

1 you think someone needs front lift worth it ?

2 if wait do you think will push my build and delivery only back a month or could set back much later ?

Very impatient lol

You don’t have to make a decision right now, you have a few weeks. Your dealer will know what can be ordered and what is constrained a few days before the order is due to GM. You should plan to have a face to face conversation (preferably with a manager) on September 12 to learn whether the dealer got an allocation and whether something in your order is or could be constrained so that you can make a change if you want to. The manager should be able to tell you exactly what your alternatives are before the order has to be submitted in the 14th. Plus, it is possible that the dealer may not get an allocation in the first consensus.

Regarding delivery, for many reasons the first few months of orders may be actually shipped to dealers somewhat unpredictably and at roughly the same time. There is truck loading, quality control, lots of reasons why cars may not be delivered in the same order in which they are built. The initial builds are typically held for quality purposes anyway — if a problem is discovered they want all the cars to be retrofitted to be located in one place. It would not be at all unusual for an October order and a September order to both be delivered on the same truck.
