^^^ I stand corrected. It sounds like the DSC is designed to work over quite a wide range of spring rates. Othojoe will have nothing to worry about. Hard to imagine many people would consider using higher rates than 700/800 on this car and still plan to drive the car on the street.

Well, that is where the car felt best to me. YMMV. However, if you look at Hoosier's suggested tire pressures for DOT radials, 36-40 is the recommended hot range for cars weighing 2800-3000 lbs. I have Pirelli slicks on my faux Cup car and they shouldn't go above 29 or so.

Hoosier's recommendations are BS. They say this because the tires will be safer and more reliable at these higher pressures, especially when they are cold. But, safety and reliability aside, these tires will perform MUCH better at lower pressures.

To included DSC and Swift springs - 448/560 (one's Tarett is selling as GT4 upgrade kit) with DSC mapped for that! Would be a nice package for GT4!

I was looking at adding exactly these two items!

Group buy and I am in

For someone far from all those technical specifications, what would be the purpose of this dsc on an exclusive street use ?

The car is more comfortable, and the handling is sharpened up

Thank you. I don't particularly find mine uncomfortable, although roads are not perfectly flat in some sections . However, I experience some weard ABS reactions, or intrusions if I may, on hard breakings as soon as the ground surface becomes irregular.

I read in another thread that those reactions could appear because of irregular surfaces. I also wonder if it's a suspension problem, or maybe because my brakes are note fully broken in. And if it's a suspension problem because of bumpy roads, maybe that DSC could help?

I'd love to see some data on this.
