By the way, I am running the GT Touring Map and it works great.

Thanks Bob. Can you undoubtably tell the difference with the GT3 T map?

No question at all; however, I have a Targa so that may come into play but the car does not roll, squat or dive as much (very little actually) and it feels more comfortable in Sport Mode, even with higher tire pressures.

I use Parallels on my Mac to run Windows. The DSC software plays nice with it.

Thanks for that. Are you also running the GT3 Touring map?

So i installed the DSC a few days ago and while It feels like its better during street driving(not by much) it definitely suffered on freeway driving. The car feels much softer in both normal and sport mode and at higher speeds I'm pretty sure it rubbed. I'm going to remove it to make sure my assessment is correct. Should I be trying different maps? If so how do I go about getting and uploading them?
So I then installed the ER racing kit (I will start at thread on this later) and set my ride heights to 27.25" rear and 27" front as the gap between arch and tire is too large at the front. Even at 0.25" lower I am still have a tad too much gap for my liking but I don't want to lower any more so I may raise the back 0.125". Also the fronts are considerably tucked which looks off compared to my flush fit on the rear (I have now installed ER adj lower control arms and increased the track around 1", 0.5" each side).
I have the rear camber adjusters max'd out just now as I wanted to ensure no contact between the tire and my wheel arch. The car will go for alignment on Fri after which I can give a more detailed right up on the suspension, LCA, R101LW and Cup2s.
However I can confirm that I have rubbing on both rears. The tire is contacting the rear inner liner as I can clearly see the scuffing of the plastic. To get it to rub I have to be pretty aggressive taking speed bumps at 30+ mph. I did this on purpose as I wanted to know if there was going to be contact. So I conclude the DSC is doing its job in smoothing out the ride but it appears to be underdamped for my setup as the amount of travel to hit the liner is large. So I will try the GT3 T map after I get her aligned and see if it mitigates the rubbing.
In a nutshell you have to be prepared to pay the price if you want to lower, correct geometry and get a flush fit with CL's

You are tucking @ 27" in the front? I feel like I still have an inch or so of play with my camber @ 1.75 in front on 245 Pirelli's
Pic?

I installed Elephant racing coil over sleeve kit on mine and the DSC module. I installed the DSC right before messing with the coil over conversion and have to say I was amazed at the transformation on the stock GTS setup. It really did make the car ride smooth without the harshness of the sport mode.
So I then installed the ER racing kit (I will start at thread on this later) and set my ride heights to 27.25" rear and 27" front as the gap between arch and tire is too large at the front.

Interesting... My 2019 GTS with stock suspension sits exactly at 27 1/4th front and 27" rear from ground to top of fender well.

GTS (SPASM) is not lower than a GT3 (27.25" all 4). Make sure the car is on level ground when you measure, otherwise the readings will be off. For instance where my car is parked in my garage (which looks to the eye level) currently shows 26.5" in front, but in reality on perfectly level ground its 27".
