A friend of mine that had not driven my car actually commented (without prompting) that "the car was very well damped"...
My car has a complete RSS rear kit: all control arms etc, and a 1/2 kit of the front, with tarret drops and GMG sways.
DSC has removed some of the NVH that these mods added...
still to go on track, but driving around RT35 & 9 in the bay area (country roads through the redwoods, very twisty) I would say this is a must have modification, unless you go the route of replacing PASM with a 2/3 way
adjustable system ala K&W, JZ, Ohlins, Bilsteins etc etc

I misread Tom's initial instructions when i first received the TPC product.
I installed the accelerometer upside down. Which means the car suspension soften up. Amazingly the car was still very flat & it absorb the bumps super nice!
I liked it so much, i made it a F1Crazydriver exclusive option. Flip the accelerometer when taking long road trips in crappy roads or having the wife in the car.
When the accelerometer is inserted correctly it is superb. Best mod for the money i have spent. Can't wait for my track day the 25th. On NorCal roads, car is much nicer. Track, will find out T -13 days.

Have you guys with the .1 cars put stiffer springs on?

LOL...putting the accelerometer in upside down literally (according to Tom) makes the DSC think the CAR IS UPSIDE DOWN
Also, I am running stock suspension on my 2008 .1 and the DSC is awesome. Street/freeway tests only to date.

Hmm, soldering required?
If so, I'll need to get some equipment before I can make use of this.
Is there a handy PDF installation guide I can review before ordering?
Thanks, Tom! And thank you all for the user reports.

With the accelerometer installed upside down, when braking, it will think the car is jumping a hill(front end lifting) while the driver is on the brake. That's why it makes the front end softer. But this makes the rear less stable because during acceleration it thinks the rear is lifting. These characteristics aren't good for track use. The accelerometer must be right side up for track use.
I have not driven a car with accelerometer upside down so thank you F1CrazyDriver for being the first and for your feedback.

OK, this has got me seriously interested in this product. I drive on some bumpy tracks (NHMS in particular) and I'm never completely happy with either the "normal" or "sport" settings on the factory PASM. Has anyone done any track time yet with the DSC in a GT3?

DSC is what PASM should be ...
