Please let us know when it's back to in stock. Reading all these, I want to get one!

Of course, makes perfect sense. I understand that the whole point is to offer something different from stock, just thought that there might be a test map out there or something. No worries at all; very good point about just swapping over the controller. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Do I understand you correctly when you say since my car is lowered it would benefit from making it stiffer than the GT3 tour file? What would you increase the default rate of the current sport mode (GT3 tour) to? And is there a file already out there that may be better to be the ‘new’ sport mode? Thanks Tom!

Appreciate the offer!! A nice forum member sent it to me earlier today 😊

Well folks, I made a goof and while zeroing the ride height with the ignition on I went ahead and flashed a new calibration file. I know that the instructions state to flash with the ignition in the off position; it's late, I'm tired, and I simply made a mistake that I realized immediately after. Wondering if I've screwed anything up here. Thanks for any input!

Thanks for the explanation Tom.

Super! Just ordered from you guys! Back ordered of course but excited with the feedback and refinement!

If you did Reset Board after each task then you should be fine. Generally, it is ideal to perform the tasks separately because there's a lot going on in the background and between different modules. Since both tasks completed successfully you should be fine. Relax! Drive!

Writing a file to the DSC using the Write All function will include both Normal and Sport mode. Been discussed a number of times..

Tom@TPC Racing

As I said in the previous paragraph, subjective personal preference comes to play. If you feel that the Normal mode is too soft for your personal preference then please feel free to go ahead to stiffen it up. You have options to do so:
1. Increase Default Rate (which is the minimum starting value) in Normal mode.
2. Write Sport mode to DSC to become the new Normal mode(open file, select Sport in Settings page, then select write Sport to Normal), then increase Default Rate in new Sport mode(because if you don't you'll end up with the same in both modes.
Alternatively you can be content and lazy like me and just use one mode all the time, that is the current Sport mode.

In general theory, lowering spring puts the piston inside the shock in a lower position which may benefit from increasing damping force to help prevent bottoming. Also some lowering springs are manufactured to be more progressive on the spring winding so not only is the piston closer to bottoming the first half inch of spring compression can be softer than stock spring to make up for the ride quality. In such case, the car can benefit from stiffer damping. I cannot comment on the different brands of springs and how progressively the coil spring wires are wound so you'll just have to play with the DSC software to find a sweet spot for your subjective personal preference.

Tom,
do you know when the next round of controllers will be ready to ship? I placed my order a couple of weeks ago.

thanks.

Tom@TPC Racing

Next round should be completed and shipped on 04-15-21. Thanks.

jaysc

Got it. Thanks! I don't remember if I explicitly did Reset Board but I did load the map fresh after the Zero Ride Height so I'm hoping that that's an equivalent function.

Thanks Tom. What do you mean by unchanged from standard...standard being the GT3 Tour File normal? GT3 sport?

This file was written all to my DSC. Just trying to determine what Normal Mode now works in..as you cleared up that Sport Mode is going to be GT3 Tour File Sport Mode with lower range (ie. stiffer)

PS. For anyone looking for a slightly tighter ride, I highly recommend the calibration file I posted earlier that is from another Forum member. I have run it now for a few weeks, over crappy city roads, and I am preferring it to the GT3 Tour file in Sport Mode. Sure it could just be placebo effect but it does feel better to me. It is almost too stiff at times on very, very bad roads, but that was where I wanted to originally get with the DSC as I found my PASM way too floaty. Another reason why again this DSC Sport module is worth every penny and too me one of the top mods anyone should consider.

Normal is the same as the GT3 touring file and sport has been stiffened up.
