We have installed DSC on cars with factory front lift system. It does not interfere since they are separate systems. Cars with factory lift system have different front shocks which doesn't give up any available travel(or stroke) compared to standard shocks. However, a non-factory externally-mounted lift kit will take up travel from the shocks and will add resistance to the "lifted" portion of the travel range when the lifting is activated. This affects the handling of the car whether it has factory PASM module or DSC when the front is lifted. We sincerely hope that car owners will be sensibly enough not to drive aggressively while the front is lifted.

Thanks for the answer guys! Really do appreciate it.

This is one product that teases me for real. I've been thinking whether to wait longer and save up for some Ohlin R&T kit ($3k) or spend the money on the DSC kit ($1k according to other members) down the line.

Being able to keep the lift is definitely a good option. Decisions, decisions...

You can get an Ohlins suspension for $3k???

Why not try the DSC ... if you dont like it ... resell on RL ... there is enough interest here that it will sell

Yeah, the Road and Track kit is $3k. I was very surprised myself too.

That is the idea going through my head as well. If I don't like it at most I will loose 100$-200$... But had a huge expense recently so still have to wait a bit.

This is one for the TPC-Racing guys, I just had a thought ... would it be useful/make sense if (in a later variant of your DSC) if it were possible for a DSC user to be able to adjust compression/rebound parameters in a similar analog to making such adjustments to 2/3 way manually adjustable shocks ... effectively changing those 'constants' in the DSC mapping, or is everything so dynamic that such external settings dont make sense?

just curious if this was possible/useful for the track rats amongst the brethern...

I've been thinking about that as well. I'd love to have a local app on my PC that allowed for customisation of the three maps. You may want to control those, so perhaps a DB of maps that we can pick and choose from, and assign to the three on the unit. So much potential!

It is great to see the addition of a USB port to allow for something like this in the future. Nice work.

Or downloadable DCS maps for each track... Online Database where people post their laps, videos and DSC maps!

PCA GGR is running a Porsche only run group with NASA at Sears Pt Oct 25-26. Running our own group significantly cuts down on the # of cars. ~30 cars so far. Plenty of track. Come join us if you like. PRC and Pirelli Cup will be racing also.

KW has a kit like that where it has an app and you can select the map. I don't think it's as adjustable as a manual one but I think there was a few adjustability.

And not so sure if it's made for Porsches.

It is possible but the system will no longer be dynamic. And will have to start from ground up on the software. Your idea has been pass on to the developer. Thank you.

Thank you nzskater and AEsco48 for your input. They have been forwarded to the developer as well.
