I installed a DSC V3 about 3 weeks ago in my 2018 Carrera T. I programmed the Turbo S map in normal mode, and GT3 Touring map in Sport mode. My suspension is otherwise stock, on stock wheels and tires (Pirelli until they wear out), with only 10mm spacers in front.
I put maybe 5 miles on the car playing between normal and sport suspension settings, and landed on sport mode -- for good. I don't drive it in normal suspension mode anymore and I don't plan to. It's just not necessary. The ride in sport suspension/GT3T map is softer than the PASM normal programming on smooth roads, and maybe a fraction stiffer than stock over bumps, sewers, and potholes. I haven't done much aggressive driving just yet, but when I push through corners I can feel the suspension stiffening. Hard to compare it to the stock sport suspension setting in terms of firmness because it's much more dynamic. I will say (and maybe this is me imagining things), I think I can actually feel each corner of the car behaving independently. This goes beyond feeling a pothole on the right front, for example, which you can feel on the stock PASM. It's more about sensing undulations in the road as a result of each corner of the car adapting to feedback independently. Obviously the software is designed to enable each wheel to articulate based on the ever-changing road conditions -- my point is, I think this translates to more driver feedback.
As far as I can tell (with my limited experience) DSC isn't going to make you a better driver, but it will reward you when you get things right. For example if you accelerate mid-turn, the car's weight is still going to shift to the back wheels, you're going to lose front-end grip, and consequently you will understeer. This is no different than stock (although maybe less understeer, all else equal). But if you manage the weight transfer well, your front end grip will be better at corner entry and rear-end grip will be better at corner exit.

Thanks! Never wrapped a car before but it turned out amazing.
Thank you! Wheels make or break it in my opinion and I think these, in combo with the purple, are perfect. Love how the rears are so concave. Just an awesome look.
