You don't need to drive two cars, you just have to drive the car with PDCC turned on and PDCC turned off. By the way, it isn't always turned on, if you select Sport Mode, it comes on but you can also manually select it when sport mode is off. That is why there is a separate button.

It is really obvious when it is on, the car stays much flatter in the turns, the lack of body roll is really marked. One swing on to the freeway through a cloverleaf and you will understand the impact. Anyone who says they can't tell the difference is either never pressing through the turns or is touched.

Incorrect. Search the forum, this has been discussed a number of times. PDCC is always on.

that's incorrect PDCC is always on the button you are referring to enables sport suspension mode for PASM and PDCC

Not mentioned so far: PDCC in normal mode (i.e. "Off" for you disbelievers) improves ride quality on crappy roads.

PDCC for tl&dr: PDCC is hydraulic sway bar drop links.

PDCC for non-ADHD: https://rennlist.com/forums/991-221/ (scroll down)

I think I would chose it for driving over broken pavement during routine every day driving.

I have PDCC and SPASM. Firstly,radman is WRONG. PDCC is always on. When you press PDCC it puts the car in sports mode (stiffer). I don't track my car and I didn't care about the 3K price. PDCC disengages the sway bars if you are going straight. This gives a smoother ride in the city. I use mine as a DD therefore I wanted a smoother ride on crappy streets. Thicker/stiffer sway bars give you a stiffer ride. With PDCC I get a smother ride in a straight line (like over speed bumps) and very flat turn in. My 997.2 S didn't have PDCC. I notice a small difference. Certainly not mandatory but neither were my ceramic brakes. 100% clean wheels ALL THE TIME for the win.

Does anyone know how much weight PDCC adds? Was just curious.

Hehe. I checked both. I figured it provides a middle ground -- a PDCC lite, if you will -- as the effects of the PDCC will be lessened by the already comparably lower/stiffer SPASM.

Yet around town it allows for the slackening of the droplinks to reduce copy effects and crashiness in the potholes.

So far, I have managed to keep it on the black at track even despite the PDCC -- -- or is it because of it?

I should add, since mine is 2012 -- I don't have the Sport Suspension button labeled with PDCC -- so I have to stick my head in the wheel well to see the hydraulics for visual feedback.... ;0)

I wonder if its benefit is most noticeable on the street or on the track or if its a drawback on the track?
