Antigravity has been super responsive. I believe my issue was caused by letting the battery sit for 8 months and my OBD reader confirmed the fault was P0562, System Voltage low. I've got the car on the trickle charger and things seem good now. I'll keep an eye on this but expect it to be fine once fully charged.
I actually really like silver wheels typically but just find this particular painted silver to be a bit blah. Easy to play with down the road. I also had a Targa GTS with black wheels and I like how the wheel details can be seen in lighter colored wheels.
After install I immediately got two errors at startup. "Suspension system fault, Drive with caution" and "Headlight control defective, Service required". The issues resolved as soon as defaulted back to the oem controller. I sent an email to support and received a very fast response letting me know that there were a few units with a programming error and they are swapping out the unit for me. Great response and service to address the problem even though the controller sat for so long before getting installed. Tom just confirmed he is going to overnight me a new unit along with a return label...fantastic customer first approach to the swap.
I also managed to spend an hour swapping the oem battery for the Antigravity battery I pulled out of my trade-in. I had to take a few more pieces off than on the 911 but it was straightforward. I have an engine control fault to troubleshoot with Antigravity but I’m sure they will get me sorted. The battery sat for 6 months so maybe it just needs some trickle charger love. These batteries are the easiest 30 lbs I’ll ever lose

Hmmm, I have had the DSC install for about 9 months now, maybe I need to play with some setting or run a diagnostic to make sure mine is working correctly?
The only error I have ever seen and it was transient was a CAN bus error...

I'd say "no need" ... but if you are "paranoid" reset/zero the ride height sensors (from the app) ... if you had/have a problem unit it will throw - but also it would have (most likely) put the shocks into "wagon wheel" mode
and you would not "wax lyrical" over the handling improvements resulting.
I do have one although I forgot to install it. That has been remedied now

As Larry said, if you didn't immediately receive these errors, I think you are in good shape. Small number of units with the problem so keep on enjoying it worry free
Great write up Jeff. I continue to be fully enamored with my GT4. If it weren't for the fact that my wife knew I wanted to occasionally take the car to the track, I too may have ended up with a Spyder. They are drop dead gorgeous.
I'll be looking to pick up a DSC controller before next autocross season, so if you decide to move on from it, let me know.
Secondly, with the battery swap and engine control fault, just swapping the battery can cause this, but more likely it was too low of voltage. It should be pretty easy to reset it. I have the "icar soft" setup if you want help with clearing the code. At least you didn't get the steering fault that I did with my car when the battery got low. I had to go to the dealer to get that one cleared since the icarsoft doesn't specifically support our cars. I could get it to see the fault, but it wouldn't clear it.
Personally, I had a great weekend autocrossing, but that was the last of the season. Bummed that I missed hanging with another Python GT4. I'll definitely have to get in with the next one. All seasons should be going back on the car shortly.

I've heard the battery needs to be registered(?) to the car.
Yeah, you lit it up again on Saturday.
Confirming that after some time on the trickle charger, my Antigravity battery is up to full charge and there are no continued faults or issues with the Spyder. Working like a charm and saving me a nice chunk of weight. I even put the battery monitor on there this time to be able to log some data on voltage, etc.

its a really nice features esp since its bluetooth enabled so you can check it from your phone ...

not AFIAK - the hardest part (apart from losing a nut from the restraining strap - which I still haven't found) was lifting out the OEM boat anchor ... plug & play otherwise
Congratulations Jeff. Your Spyder looks beautiful. Nice spec. Very tasteful.
Happy to see your patience rewarded.
Lots of you guys seem to be "graduating" from the waiting game to the open road.
Luckily, I hung on to my 911 so I can have some fun while waiting for my dealer to call me with the long-sought allocation.
Been first in line for their next GT4 for a while.
Meanwhile, Adrift and I will have to live vicariously through you guys. Best of luck with your beauty.
Tom at TPC overnighted me a new DSC controller and after a 5 minute install, I’m good to go! No codes or issues and after a short test, I love it. It ahould allow me to run in sport suspension mode pretty much full time and just put it on comfort mode on really bad roads.
I struggled with the big connector the first time but I found that if you let the controller lean forward into your left hand, you can get that thumb in the gap of the slide connector while pulling with your right hand. Comes right out.

Jeff, any idea which file your new DSC is running? I 'think' that mine is: 718GT4_GRS_LNC_by-TC_09-02-2020
On the side of the case it says "11-24-20 718 Spyder"
