Default Harsh suspension - Looking for a thread

a fellow rennlister posted a while back about a solution for harsh suspension and non compliant ride. I believe he found a solution with some aftermarket bushings but I cannot find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

2009 C2S 124K miles

This did it for me, a year into it and the best mod I ever made to the car: https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...y-opinion.html

Do you use the default setting file out of the box or did you tweat it ?

I did, read my post #18 in my link. And with that, I think the car handles and rides fabulously. Now after about 1 year of using it, I keep it in sport mode 95% of the time and just move it to Normal when I am trundling down some awful road. It is interesting that Porsche had more capabilitiy in the PASM system that they didn't use. This DSC is more than just a tune or a difference in opinion on what Porsche did.... Porsche never took full advantage of the four-channel independence of this PASM system - until the 991.

Bruce does it mess with the sport and sport plus on the PDK?

I have a full race suspension in my supercharged 997 with Bilstein Damptronics coilovers LCAs, dog bones, toe steer kits, camber locks, monoball top mounts, etc and using custom settings for the DSC box where I've set it to full soft for the first 25% or so, my car rides better than my wife's 997 with stock PASM controller and suspension and they're the same year and model. I tweaked my sport setting for mountain carving.

This is such a great mod as even in my "cushy" normal mode, everything stiffens up for on-ramps or avoidance maneuvers automatically.

I don't know.... you can just call DSC. They are a real race shop, all real car guys with one semi-car marketing guy (as of last year).
