Happy you now see what the DSC brings.
I just picked up my 911 from storage, original controller in the car, not too comfortable. The DSC is going back in tomorrow!

I love my DSC and any 911 I own in the future will have it. Totally worth the money since I daily drive mine.

Im not bashing this product in any way, It definitively made a dramatic difference in the way the car was dampened, as advertised.
DSC works better if you push a little harder on the pedals.



Grows with you


I’ve found it grows with you . The faster you get, the better it responds.

I love how the BMW guys say on the highway when they change between modes, they can’t fell any difference. 🤣

Once you start to really load the suspension up, you wouldn’t leave home without the DSC.

OP. I’d be looking more into your springs. Just adding springs without shocks, always ruins handling.

This is the new edition with the RS tune and I will definitely be sticking with it.
For those curious, my car is a '17 C2, cobb ots stage 1 tune, TechArt springs, S brakes, 20 inch wheels, Michelin ps4s 245/305 rubber.
Very glad to know that you are now enjoying your DSC and further more glad you have custom tuned your DSC for personal preference! Cheers.

I'm reading this post and trying to see why my DSC file is different. My Sport mode offset is 30 where everyone else's is 100. I'm not sure why. My car is 991.2 Turbo S - I believe all 991.2s have the same file.

Does anyone have the stock RS calibration file they could share with me? I am thinking maybe at some point I accidentally changed the offset. Would appreciate if someone could share their original DCS calibration file.

These are default that I read from my recently bought DSC. I have a 991.2 C4.

I have the stock file, and the offset is 30 on mine as well.

Did you buy the tuning cable from DSC? I’m assuming it’s just a basic USB cable. Would it be better to just buy a longer cable from the get go from Amazon?

Really happy to see this update. Read through this entire thread and learned a lot regarding expectations and use. I’m about to pull the trigger on one of these and my initial setup is similar to yours, so I’m looking forward to experiencing the improvements in ride quality.

You will love it! You can just leave it as is or take the time to tailor the cars ride and handling to your taste. For the price this mod goes a LONG way.

@Tom@TPC Racing Hi Tom, can you please share last RS file? I do not find it. I see that others have asked as well
I have a 991.2 with KW HAS coilovers and want max Sport settings for track use.
my DSC firmware is « V3 4-28-21 enc Velocity Lnc &EXH2 pch2 »

if anyone else has the RS file and can share I would appreciate as well.

thank you

How well will the DSC work for track use? I'm not very computer literate and looking for a plug and play map. Is this available for a 4RS?

My C4S was full stock, only mods were DSC and GT3 brakes. Michelin PS4.
Never hit more than 1.28G before the DSC. After about a month of rolling in the hills:



So I think this stuff works quite well. I liked that the suspension was softer, less bouncing of front wheels in soft corners, and less bouncing of the rear on heavy braking.
I will likely get a DSC for my next 911!
