NOT a fan of the run flats so far. The Pirellis on the 14 were better. Slot car is a good mental picture. I drove FM 4 in sport mode and it was bumpier than I remember but the corners scared my wife so I know we were pushing it.

Regarding cost to replace....it's a pretty easy job to do yourself. I know not everyone turns wrenches, but if you DO.....just sayin'. Parts shouldn't be TOO too bad. Quick google looks like around $1200 to $1300. Not chump change, but not too bad either.

MRC was one of the options I wanted when I bought my 2024 2SS. I really liked the ride the few miles I put on the car before getting rid of it.

Once I drove one with MRC, then a C7 Vette with it, I will never buy a Camaro without it...

According to a few posts on the one or two threads about this that I found, it's not uncommon, to a degree. There's a lot that I don't know about what my situation though. I hadn't noticed it until days ago, so I don't know how long it's been there. That shock is at full extension, and the weep-"field" is really focused right around my smudge - it didn't wrap around the back of the shock much, and it didn't flow much further down the shock than you really see in the picture (it really stops near the bottom of my smudge). I cleaned it off, and will check back in some weeks and see though. Admittedly - I could have made that mess myself when I was farting around, in the same area, with some spray lubricant (for something else I was trying to address), so it COULD be from that. I don't know... There's a lot I don't know. I wouldn't try to suggest anyone should worry. I will say that it looks like the GM retail price of this shock (and probably the driver's side, too) is almost $650. BUT - I can find it easily for about $385, which isn't great, but it isn't $650, lol. Maybe the important thing to consider is if it's worth it? Probably - for those fortunate to drive/own an MRC car, many would probably say it is. Personally - I think it is, and it's worth the price of admission for the ways I enjoy the car. Will it be fun to replace any of these in the future (assuming you can find them in 10-years and beyond...)? No. But having the benefits of how GM integrated them into the car is what I like, and having some choice in how the car feels is nice, too. JMO.
