I have a question for anyone installing a DSC in a 991.1 coupe. After folding down the seats I tried to pry up the carpet as instructed, but the carpet is stuck at both ends. I can pry up real hard, but I'm afraid of breaking something.

I have a 2016 991.1 C2S PDK, SC I daily drive in "Sport" mode and with PASM shock icon button on. Zero track or Autocross use, nor do I plan to. Handling is just fine for me but I wouldn't say no to a smoother ride over potholes, etc. I can sense zero difference in daily or spirited driving difference with shock icon button on or off. Do I really need a DSC control module?
Thanks in advance.

I keep it on Sport all the time now with the DSC. Now my stiffness is 5% in Normal which feels just as smooth as my Acura daily driver, and fluctuates on its own from 20-100% stiffness in Sport depending on G's/Speed/ect. I was a skeptic until I installed it.

Something doesn't sound right here. Before I installed my DSC there was a pretty substantial difference between my "normal" and "sport"(light on) with my PASM button. The factory PASM is 20% firmness in Normal and 80% in Sport. Sport was too much of a static stiffness for normal driving.

BTW, I run my new Michelin tires in comfort setting so that's not a factor nor am I new to firm-riding sports cars. I think you may have convinced me to get a DSC. Thank you.

Very interesting. Thanks for your input. Recent PPI at dealership showed zero issues. Car is not modified, clean bill of health. 40K miles. The impact I feel over rough roads in normal vs sport does not feel like 20/80 at all. Your review/explaination of the DSC is the best I've read. Thank you.

This is really cool and I'd never thought about it. Definitely higher priority mod now!

Another cool feature was when breaking. If you slam on your breaks the front stiffen up and dramatically lowers the amount of nose dive. It does the same when a Launch Control is initiated by firming up the rears. Incredible stuff for the money. I'm not sure why Porsche doesn't program theirs to do something similar.

I enjoy it much more on this GTS coupe vs the GTS cab I had before. In fact the coupe has quite a different feel all the way around. I love it. I think that given the cost and simplicity of installation, the DSC Controller is a flat-out must-have. Period.

BUY THE DSC. I just put on my 991.2 and it's BY FAR the most amazing mod i've put on the car. It completely transforms the car and it's the way it should've came from the factory. The ride is SO much more compliant and frankly - LOVELY on comfort mode and when you put it into Sport? my god. Unbelievable.

I just installed the DSC on my 991.2 C4. Having done similar on my previous 997 TT, I expected a similar dramatic difference in both settings. Unfortunately, I notice no significant changes. Not sure how that is possible. I get no CEL. Thoughts?
