I use my 2008TT as a daily driver.
It has H&R lowering springs and wheel spacers. (all for show)

The ride is actually very nice for a lowering spring car on the street. Much better then using my monoball 997RS around town.

Sport mode on the 997TT sucks on the street. I could only see it being used on the track when pushing hard. But I do not track the car. Very rarely will i select sport mode even on the most twisty of roads.

For me, the DSC would have to make the car even better on the street which might be hard given that i have lowering springs which are like cheating and limit your shock potential.

The concept is interesting however.

Would it work with Damptronics i wonder?

Yes, that's my impression too. The car is very planted with the Eibachs and the aggressive alignment I have. Plus my Bridgestone N1's also negatively (IMO) contribute to the ride quality too so Perhaps PS4's would make a difference. That's my next upgrade.

For those considering it. I made this short (yet crude) install vid on how easy / short it was to swap. Hope it helps.

I for one, like a member above said, love it as a mod on the roads here in ATL. It the mountains, I love it as well. Yes, it was pricey but I still think it was worth it.

Stock ride height for me though. I'm not a fan of the lowered look / ride for a street car. For track, yes.




I'd love to let you try mine but wouldn't want to lose it for any length of time, as I can drive my car year round down here. Take someone up on it that can pull it over the winter and give it a try.


Agreed brother!!! We need to go drive the hills soon!!

For those with lowering springs experiencing "bouncing", it is oscillation after a bump. To reduce or eliminate the oscillation more damping force is need from the shocks. The standard DSC mapping is effective in changing the frequency of the oscillations to improve comfort by adding damping force when it detects vertical force moments. If more damping force is desired for oscillation events the DSC is fully tune-able by the user to his/her personal preference via DSC software. And we provide support for the custom tuning. Basically DSC turns your stock electronic shocks to fully adjustable shocks and reactive to different driving conditions.

I am a suspension geek for cars and motorbikes so I totally dig this sort of thing. Please allow me to elaborate on how to make these changes using DSC software. There's a number of ways to do this:

1) You can increase the Sensitivity to g-force changes- this will command more damping force to the shocks with less g-force activity.

2) You can increase the minimum damping percentage- this is more passive way of doing it by having the increased minimum value will prevent the oscillation from happening in the first place.



3) You can re-shape the damping curve of each shocks(for oscillation is usually just the fronts)- making the damping curve more progressive say from 1% to 40% to calm the oscillation, then keeping the damping curve from 40% on up to linear.
4) You can re-scale the damping curve of each shock(for oscillation is usually just the fronts)- starting the damping scale stiffer, which is almost the same as method #1 but will globally offset the upper load range as well.

All the of the above methods are effective in changing the frequency of the bounce. DSC is a very powerful tool. Few more hours to the sale ends

Yes, DSC works with Damptronic B4, B6, B8, and B16. The control range of the internal valve is same as PASM shocks which is also made by Bilstein.

Thanks! Yes, DSC users can fully customize their mapping to their preference and to better integrate other suspension mods by making adjustment(s) to our standard file. Or DSC users can flash one of many complete file that I have created based on specific feedback. I am working with our web admin to have more maps posted on the DSC website. You are correct that around 90% of DSC users enjoy the product as is with the standard file. Thanks again!

Placed my order yesterday. It's supposed to get here by this Thursday! Some great service thus far.

Any software updates recently?

What would I change if I simply want sport mode overall stiffer and less body roll on turns?

By software, do you mean the calibration file? If the calibration file(aka mapping) is what you are referring to I have a lot of files with different damping characteristics that I have made for customer over the years. Actually, too many to put up on a web page for one model of car, so I am trying to streamline the files and work with our web admin. For now, send me an email to request stiffer sport mode and I'll reply with the file in the attachment. My email is: tchan@tpcracing.com

If you are referring to firmware, any firmware with 2-mode (Normal and Sport mode) will have the latest damping performance specs.
