Have anybody installed DSC in a 991.2 Base Carrera ?

In my 991.2 I don't use normal suspension mode since the car feels like it's floating and I just don't feel safe when I'm driving at higher speeds. Because of that, my suspension is always at sport mode.

I would like to have a softer setting but still have that "totally in control feeling" that I'm lacking today with the normal suspension mode.

Great info! Thanks.

Anyone planning to install this in the 991.2 GTS w/ SPASM?
I did not order PDCC and wondering if this is potential solution to make up for not having PDCC.

Has anyone tried to update their firmware ? Thinking if i should update it if it would make a lot of difference, always have this fear of bricking equipment when updating firware

I finally got a DSC V2 Controller and installed it. They had been out of stock for some time, but are back in stock and mine arrived very soon after ordering it. Installation as noted in the videos and others' comments was pretty easy. The most difficult part was removing the larger of the two harness clips. It was really tight on my car. But knowing that it *would* come out eventually, based on others' reports, helped immensely. Once out, it literally was a snap to install the DSC, as the connectors easily slide in and locked. The wiring harness is pretty tight and doesn't "give" much. You will need to be rather forceful to pull the OEM unit out enough to be able to gain sufficient grip and leverage to slide the clips off, but don't pull so hard that you break any of the wires or their connections.

If you are at all in tune with how your car rides and handles, you will immediately notice the difference, even when driving moderately. The DSC map gives the shocks greater range, at least on the soft end, where it produces a noticeably better ride than stock, and you will find that on bumpy roads, the car is more compliant and the tires stay better in contact with the road surface. I don't know if the shocks are stiffer on the stiff end, but the dynamic adjustment really works to make the car handle better. There is noticeably less dive and squat on acceleration, and cornering is flatter, almost like having PDCC (which my car, at 991.1tt, doesn't have).

For a variety of reasons, I'm not keen on an engine software tune (and we only have 91 octane fuel here anyway), but the increase in chassis capability is something every car with PASM could benefit from. My only regret is that I didn't get this unit sooner.

The DSC module allows you to change the calibration of the dampers in both the Normal and Sport modes. You can easily adjust the standard mode's map to be stiffer than the OEM calibration, then stiffen up the Sport mode map even more than it is so you still notice a difference when you press the button.

Also appreciate the info Larry...its on my list of Spring upgrades for my 2013 991.1S.

I've got it in my .2 GTS with sport PASM... though I kinda went the full beans with the Tractive DDA coilovers as well. The setup has more damping range (full soft is softer than OEM, full hard is harder than OEM) but even with the OEM hardware you'll notice a difference. There's very, very little body roll and the car feels a lot more urgent when loading up the corners.

I've been able to play with the shock calibration to give a firmer (yet more compliant) ride than OEM with the dampers in normal mode with sport mode being fairly stiff and lively.

Any Black Friday deals by any chance?

I’ve not driven a car with PDCC. My car also did not have that option, and it’s the only one I feel I miss.

Based on the comments by many, and my own experience with how the DSC module affected my car, though, I think that the effect must be pretty similar to PDCC. In fact, it’s better in some ways, because it helps the car reduce dive and squat, which remain unaffected with PDCC. The DSC is way more cost effective than trying to retrofit PDCC, or sell my car to buy another with that option. If you at all feel regret for not having PDCC, I highly recommend you get the DSC Sport module.

I accidentally bought a DSC for a 991.2 instead of a 991.1 if anyone wants to trade...

Need4S

Aren’t they the same? I didn’t see any differentiation on the website.

return it?

Also I bought it second hand so returning it will be a problem..

The link says the difference is only firmware/software. Call DSC Sport and ask if you can re-flash it.

If it helps anyone... I was having issues with dsc and traction control conflicting on. My 2015c2s. I set minimum shock stiffness to 20% and 80% for normal and sport chassis modes respectively. Immediate improvement. Product is awesome.
