Default GT3RS Base PASM setting underdamped??

Anyone else think the base setting on the PASM is underdamped? Feel ok over city streets and bumps but on any higher speed road surface irregularities, seems underdamped?
Been driving it in the sport setting more often and feels much better. In previous C2S both 991.1 and 991.2 the sport setting on PASM/PDCC was too much/useless....

DSC Sport controller is the fix for that.

Do you have one tuned for the .2 3RS?

In Normal Mode: The rear end is fine. The front end has too much spring or too low compression/rebound.

In Sport Mode: The rear is twitchy. The front is spot-on

Fix: DSC-Sport V3 and the .2 GT3RS map.

I thought DSC doesn't work in these cars if they have FAL (which most of them do)?
Also on DSC website, under V3 controller, there is no option for 991 GT3/RS. Just 718 and 981 Cayman/GT4...

The FAL bug was supposed to be fixed around June. Still waiting for DSC to update their website.

DSC works great on all 991 GT3 and GT3 RS and GT2 RS on street & track.

DSC has absolutely no issue on 991.1 GT3 and GT3 RS with FAL.

It is only on 991.2 GT3/GT3 RS/GT2 RS with FAL that when the FAL is activated it will trigger a fault code because the FAL is looking for a matching code from the suspension controller. DSC has been working to duplicate this code to prevent FAL from triggering a fault code. This FAL fault code will cancel itself with key off but it is an annoyance that DSC is going to have a fix for soon, When FAL is not being used, DSC works great in controlling the damping on 991.2 GT cars for street and track.

Sorry for not having the car models sorted on the DSC website, Basically all 991.1 models and 991.2 models and 981.1 models and 718 models use the same DSC V3 hardware. Only the config and calibration file is different among some models, On the DSC website, best way to order is enter the vehicle year and model during the checkout process.

I think it’s pretty much perfect.
Anything adjustable I’m too lazy to figure out.

DSC and KW, as they come might feel better but no faster.
If you work long enough at it, you can probably go faster.

I’m interested in the DSC for my 991.2 GT3RS, but will wait for them to fix the FAL bug first. Is it fixed yet?

On street driving I think also that the soft setting of the 991.2 gt3 rs is underdamped and bouncy it would have to have stiffer rebound at least...

I did not use it on track yet and for sure it will be good but on my 991.1 gt3 I really like the feeling of the oem dampers.... and I m not sure I would like to loose that bilstein feel if fitting some good coilovers as ohlins ttx or manthey kw (but I don t know how they are)

On the other hand the feeling of the .2 rs could be much better especially on the soft setting... of course I m just talking about the feeling maybe they focused on the performance with the stiffer springs in stiff setting and the soft setting is just a not so good compromise for confort...

Agreed. On soft, the .2 RS is quite bouncy. On stiff it's great. But don't want to drive around on rough roads in that setting.

I will seriously consider getting DSC unit once they fix the FAL issue.
