In for the DSC and Tractive coilovers! Those plus some other suspension bits plus Hoosier R7s should make for some fun track days...
Tom, thanks for your time and expertise on the phone recently.

I can understand wanting to try before you buy, but you figure the most likely explanation for people not eagerly offering to loan them is that something is being hidden? I mean, I like to help out forum members when I can, but I can't see myself digging a $400 controller out of my car (and getting the stock one out of storage), schlepping it to the post office, hoping nothing happens to it in shipping, etc. just to be nice...
And, like, why would people try to hide the truth about how well the thing works?
Personally I find it worthwhile even just to adjust the default rates. The stock setting for sport mode IMO is ridiculously, unnecessarily stiff (even for track unless the track and curbs are very smooth), while the normal mode is pretty floaty. With the DSC box you can choose any rates you want, so both modes become usable. Add in the dynamic control, which is obviously the main benefit it provides, and it's a clear win in my eyes.

stock program here. Installed a year and a half ago. Never touched since. True plug and play mod that works wonders on the active suspension tuning

Installed the DSC module to my 997.1 Turbo with Bilstein Damptronic coilovers. Definetly made a difference. Car is much more stable. Doesn´t bounce around so much anymore. Much more confidence inspiring. At the same time we installed a DSC controller into my friends Stock 991.1 Turbo and he also felt the car much more stable. Both cars are more complient now and more confidence inspiring when taking curves at high speeds. I really want to test it in sport mode at the track. Both have stock programs.
One thing I did notice is that before I could push the sport button and both the Suspension button and the sport button would light up. Now I have to turn the on individualy.

However the PASM button when pushed for Sport no longer turns the Sport chrono mode on automatically and I have to press the Sport button as well to activate the Sport chrono mode as their button cross functionality no longer exists.
in my mind this makes sense as otherwise the DSC module would have to communicate with other Porsche electronics and control modules rather than only with the suspension shocks.

Having the Suspension Mode activation independent from Engine/Gearbox Mode is a normal feature of the DSC. DSC remembers the Suspension Mode that you used last and will hold this mode the next time you start the engine. For example, if you used Sport mode last the suspension will remain in Sport mode the next time you start the engine. With DSC installed the Suspension Mode can only be changed when the drivers pushes the Suspension Mode Button.
