Default Try TPC racing's DSC

I don't know how far you want to go in setting your car up for the track. I'm sure you can spend a lot of $ with different coil overs, sway bars and so-on but you may want to try TPC racing's DSC module first and then go from there. IT turns your suspension into a fully active system instead of the factory setup. Check it out on their web page. Even if you decide it's not what you want after you buy it and try it out you can easily sell the thing on any Porsche forum. They also have a set of coil overs that work with this system that might be just the setup your looking for. Or you can use the Bilstein coil overs. Lots of options.

I don't know anyone who've managed to convert 997 TT to RW drive and make it work without getting codes. Apparantely it works ok when driving on the street but during aggressive tracking the electronics go haywire. Do you have any more info?

I don't have any issues with the electronics on the track. Shop did have to modify the computer tho.
