DCS is a quite special mod. Needs some time to understand what it is doing and why. I am Still trying to understand it. I feel i will appreciate DSC in my next track event.

I installed DCSV3 to my 991.2 C2 GTS and i feel that my car lost the Sport feeling i used to feel when i Press the Sport button.

Following my discussion with Tom i understood that stock SPASM module is predefined on the stiffnes in 30% for normal Mode and 80% on Sport Mode. Not sure if the % are accurate.
The stock SPASM is setting the stiffnes in all shocks at the same time.

DSC has variable Range between 10% to 100% depends on car acceleration and various sensors forces.

Therefore you have a feeling that the car is more smooth on driving and suspension stifness depends on many variables as turning angle, g force, acceleration etc.

Also DSC has the ability to remember the selected Mode on the SPASM and stays always at Sport Mode which based on my understanding except suspension stiffnes control also engine bearings.

Need to study more the 991. 2 GTS engineering. It seems these cars have significant technology that needs some time to adopt and learn how to utilize.

If that is the case, you can set the sport map lower limit stiffer.

Worth getting a custom map written for your specific car and any mods by someone who knows their way around the software. Not expensive.

What custom settings were done for your specific car? From your first post in this thread, it sounds like you haven't even driven your car with a DSC yet.

Ι spoke with TOM and he told me that if i do not feel stiff suspension means that i do not push the car too much.

He suggested to drive more the car and try to attend a track Day then i can have a full view of DSC Range.

According to TOM the stiff suspension does not offer anything in the Rolling smooth pace of the wheel. Progressive stiffness is the key as the tire will keep more Rolling area with road.

I've had the DSC fitted for around 9 months. The car has just been back to the shop for the KW bits. I've no idea what specific settings were changed for my custom map, there are many tables to adjust. But I do know it was a lot better than out of the box. Picking up tomorrow and will see how it is with new springs, spacers and fresh geo.

I don't doubt it.

You mentioned that it doesn't feel "sporty" in sport anymore. With chassis sport selected in settings, you can increase the G-Comfort default parameter on the GForce tab from 20% to some % higher, and you will get back what you say is gone, or don't.

You guys running stiffer springs or simply just want a firmer damping feel can use the DSC GT3/RS or GT3 Touring calibration file on your DSC V3 comtroller.

While there's no guarantee on every possible scenario, for most cars with lowering springs DSC will smooth out the unwanted oscillation(aka bounce) by adding damping force when needed.

All the track enthusiasts I encountered at the track all praised the DSC sport controllers. I guess for a DD its a huge improvement and on the track as well.

And for those that do not know they make these for many other makes/models and not only Porsches and are recommended by many.
