Hi everyone,
First, Terri and I hope everybody is staying safe and we wish you all the best during this unfortunate time.
I am honored that Brian Spitler Jr from Apex Auto Detail in Wernersville, PA has posted a very instructional video on changing the magnetic ride control module in a 2013 ZR1.
Brian has a bit of a different method to install the module, but it gives great access to the module for the replacement. The installation is very informative and professional. Here’s Brianās video:
For reference here is the video that we made with a bit of a different approach. This method allows the installation through the wheelhouse:
I also want to thank Steve who owns the ZR1 to trust us to allow the installation. Brian has got feedback from Steve that he is very happy with the performance of the car.
And the best news is, Brian has agreed to become one of our official installers.
Thank you, Jim
TESTIMONIALS
Last year I purchased a C6 Grand Sport convertible.Ā I bought the car in Texas and drove it back to Michigan.Ā In the fall of 2018, Jim asked if he could upgrade my car to get my thoughts. The transformation is unbelievable! The pleasure of driving the car in either tour or sport canāt be understated.Ā On my drive back from Texas I never put it in sport.Ā Now I do almost all my driving in sport. If I just want a nice cruising car, tour is perfect.Ā In both tour and sport, the car just glides over the bumps that used to beat me up bad.Ā Also, I noticed how much better the steering is, which surprised me.Ā Now I canāt imagine driving the car without the new programs.

After a total of 10 hours of seat time. Ā In both tour and sport. Mix of freeway 55-90mph with hours rural backroad and small-town slow driving. I like this new cal so much. Both tour and sport absorb the bumps very very nicely and are still stable and composed. Ā Everyone will notice a considerable difference. Read More Testimonials ->
Jim come to my house to put the calibration in my 2010 ZR1. When I bought the car, I had to drive it back from Texas to Michigan. 18 hours on the road was a bit of a headache. The car was a blast except for hitting potholes, railroad tracks, and impacts in general. Since the calibration, my car drives and handles 100x better. The impacts seem to be non-existent. Going over railroad tracks are a breeze and the sport mode is a true sport mode now. Iām amazed every time I take out my car. Love every bit of my new calibration. Read More Testimonials ->
The ride and handling for both modes is a dramatic improvement. As soon as I left Jimās house in tour mode, I instantly felt a more āmodernā feel to the car. Very comfortable now and yet more the handling is more responsive. I do not feel the hard rebound over larger bumps. It doesnāt pound my dash when I go over railroad tracks like it used to. I feel that there is more steering response at lower speeds and of course at high speeds.
When I put it into sport mode, I feel a good difference. Now I feel a nice transition between tour to sport. Before the upgrade, I never put it in sport unless I was showing my friends how harsh it was. I am driving it in sport mode more often now. The ride is so much better as well as the cornering.Ā I want to say it feels like a new stab bars were installed. Itās that much more balanced through the corners. Read More Testimonials ->
Just wanted to let you know how happy I am with the driving improvement. Drove over 250 miles yesterday. I am no expert but would say the car feels much more stable, planted, kind of hard to describe but driving over rough pavement sections has a sense that the suspension is working much more refined. These are really nice cars and your program just adds to the experience. Read More Testimonials ->
On a regular basis, Iām on roads with rough, heavily-worn asphalt, pot holes, sections of cracked and broken-up pavement and fragmented road edges. For around-town driving, I have MR set in the āTourā mode and with Jimās MR cal the car gets over all those crappy road surfaces with a bit more comfortable ride. On roads which are in better condition, but with bumps and heaves, the ride seems more controlled.
When hammering my ZO6 through the twisties in the mountains near my homeāState Route 33 from Oaji, California over to where joins with SR166 is a favorite of mineāI put MR in āSportā mode. With the Mero-calibrated āSportā, when driving over high-frequency, low-amplitude chatter bumps, ripples, cracked pavement and stuff like that, I donāt feel those disturbances quite as much. Also, Sport, with a Mero MR cal, seems more appropriately-damped in that kind of driving than did Sport with the stock MR cal. Lastly, the carās response to steering input, especially in an autocross movement or an emergency evasive maneuver seems different. The best way I can describe this situation is that steering is more ācrispāāfor lack of a better word.
In short, I was impressed with Jim Meroās C6 MagnaRide calibration, not only because of the improvements discussed above, but because his stuff is for āreal worldā driving and not specific to track use. Read More Testimonials ->
