I had heard that the DSC improved things and heard great feedback - more so for Turbo's than GT3's etc. So i got one - recently. In the grand scheme of mods - its relatively inexpensive. I think it made a pretty good difference especially in normal mode. It absorbs the bumps so much better and the ride is less "jarring". Its a big difference in our So Cal freeways that aren't the smoothest where before the car felt it was bouncing. I have another fast sweeping freeway interchange with a bump that always unsettled the car a little. The DSC keeps it better planted. I haven't had time to do a very aggressive Canyon run but overall it feels like a transformed car to me with no drawbacks.

I am thinking I can probably handle the install with doing too much other collateral damage to the car - the videos on the DSC site seem pretty straight forward.

Cannot wait! If I have the time, I will hook up a data logger with a couple of accelerometers and do some before and after runs over the tracks near my office - this, however, may be wishful thinking...

Prior to the installation of the DSC when I did a log for Sam with a third gear pull to redline, when I hit some bumps in the road, the wheels would spin and the related rev limiter and nannies would kick in. You could see it on the log as jittery lines where the car struggled to maintain traction. After my install of the DSC this washboard effect over road irregularities has become noticeably better. Not entirely gone but big difference.

I am trying to think of a way to get an accelerometer hard mounted in the car without drilling holes through the chassis.

On the road to the office, there are three points where one has to cross tracks and uneven pavement. With the Michelin Winters on, the ride is considerably better than with the PS4s within the city, but out on the open road, I don't really notice any harshness with the PS4s, so my test strip will be in the city.

My current thinking is that I can place the unit in the frunk and put something heavy on top of it to keep it down, but my concern is that it may be so jarring that whatever I use to weigh it down may in fact skew the data as it bangs on the top off the logger.

Any suggestions on how to overcome this without going through the chassis would be welcome.

Last tune with more boost under the curve vs. higher in the band is the best so far . That said, a Dragy is still on my mod list.

Thanks for those who gave their personal takes.

Thinking out loud.

Might lose a little resolution, but it should show the difference of before an after.
