Only objective measure (other than how I feel the car is better) is the "G meter"... my all time high lateral G was 1.24 (when going through the same set of familiar corners).. that has been shattered by the DSC, new highest is 1.33 which is a huge improvement!

Swung by the shop today Tom hooked me up with the install and got to see them loading up vehicles headed to Watkins Glen... Chatted with Mike about his car.. Friendly bunch of knowledgeable folks definitely won't be my last visit.

Finally had a proper drive and my goodness it’s just fantastic! Far more compliance and it feels like all four corners are working together rather than against each other.

Seriously impressive and worth every penny.

Installed mine today. Drove mostly on the freeway about 60 miles. Not sure if i could tell any change but i think it felt better in normal mode.

I think I read somewhere that it adapts as time goes on?

there is almost no adaptation time

Other than more "compliant" ride in a straight line in both Normal and Sport, you will not feel any difference unless you push the car in corners. Think of it as PCCB. There will be small improvement in steering feel from shedding unsprung weight, but you won't feel any difference unless you push the brakes and do several hard braking stops, thats how I would explain it anyways,

DSC reacts to the driver's input in real time to command the shocks(dampers) individually to changing loads.
I prefer to use the word React over Adapt, because the latter word suggest it takes a period of time to learn and process the info. Whereas the DSC controller's reaction to command for each move that a driver makes occurs in less than 1 second.
DSC is think and commanding every second that you're driving. DSC stands for Dynamic Suspension Control.

I bought a DSC V3 on this past thursday and installed it, it made a huge difference right away. The comfort over the worst of roads is so much improved but also the car just handles even more flat now than it used too and is great to drive on the track as well. Two days after installing the DSC I took my 17 base Carrera coupe to the track for my first of two track days, where the cars capabilities seemed to come alive more so than they ever had on the street. This product truly has no downside that I can tell. Thanks to TPC/DSC

I’ve had a couple more good drives and echo the above👆 It really is a fantastic mod.

Wrong forum...

Will look in GT3-specific forum.

@Tom@TPC Racing Will this controller work with Bilstein B8 Damptronic Dampers? For Stock AutoX class you can’t change springs. Thanks!

I’ve done a good few miles now and am still super impressed with it. Best bang for buck mod I’ve done to a car and I’ve done a few! Thoroughly recommended😊
