Chevrolet Camaro Gen. 6 Magnetic Ride Suspension MR / ST Springs

inventory at Buy Mustang parts Ltd, the Magnetic Ride Control (MRC) and ST Springs setup for the Gen 6 Camaro (2016–2024) represents the peak of GM’s chassis technology.

In the 2026 market, these parts are highly sought after by SS owners looking to upgrade to 1LE specs. Since Camaro production has ceased, verified working MRC dampers are high-value “boutique” items.

1. Magnetic Ride Control (MR) Shocks

These dampers use magnetorheological fluid to change stiffness in milliseconds. For your luxury catalog, the Part Numbers are specific to the axle and side.

• The “1LE” Upgrade Kit (GM 84556736): If you source the full “1LE Track Pack” kit, it includes recalibrated shocks and stiffer springs. In 2026, a complete new-in-box kit can retail for $1,300 – $1,500.

• Module Matching: To function, these shocks require the Suspension Control Module (e.g., 84214461). If you are selling a “Conversion Kit,” including the module and the wiring pigtails allows you to double your asking price.

2. ST Springs (Lowering & Performance)

“ST” typically refers to the Spring & Sway Bar components of the 1LE Track Package.

• Spring Rates: 1LE springs are significantly stiffer than standard SS springs to reduce body roll.

• The “Lowering” Trap: Many customers confuse “ST” performance springs with aftermarket lowering springs (like BMR or H&R). OEM 1LE springs only lower the car by about 5mm–10mm, focusing on handling rather than “slammed” aesthetics.

• Identification: Look for the specific Alpha-Tag on the spring coils (e.g., a two-letter code on a paper tag). Matching these tags ensures the customer gets the exact spring rate for their vehicle weight (Coupe vs. Convertible).

3. Strategic Advice for Buy Mustang parts Ltd

• Testing for “Leaking”: Unlike standard shocks that leak oil, MRC shocks can “weep” slightly, which is considered normal by GM. However, if there is a heavy buildup of grit/grime or fluid dripping, the shock is failing. Only list “Clean” shocks as Grade A.

• The “Delete” Market: Some owners want to remove MRC to install coilovers. If you have customers asking for this, stock MRC Delete Kits (e.g., aFe or KW). These are “fools” for the computer that prevent the “85 MPH Speed Limited” dashboard error.

• Calibration Requirement: Always include a disclaimer: “Calibration of the MR Suspension Module may be required at a GM dealer to recognize new dampers.” This protects your business from “Defective” claims when the customer simply hasn’t programmed the car.
