As for the unsettling feeling at speed, it may be worth looking into your alignment. You'd be surprised how much more confident a car will feel when properly aligned. After 14K miles and rather bumpy LA roads it's definitely not out of question.

Additionally, stiffer/beefier sway bars should help as well as chassis bracing since it's a Cab.

Remember I have a convertible ...

Can you say what all happened with only the DSC added?

I'm located in Hong Kong, the road sucks here big time. To make it worse I have B16 coilover, my car felt like a tank until I installed DSC. Tom at DSC has very supportive to assist me to find a tune setting that is most suitable for my needs. Def look into it.

Good news.

So you can upload setting to the DSC? Easy to do?

Does that really work? The issue is stiffness from corner to corner, no?

Thanks. If I keep the car, that's #1 on the list.

Local suspension genius (Lucent Motors) recommends the KW V3 coil over system, fully adjustable, splits the difference between Comfort and Sport and has progressive damping.

So that would seem to be the answer.


I think the Cabs by their very nature are going to be softer, and they are heavier with a slightly different center of gravity.


I wouldn't change to some kind of aftermarket suspension.


I would get a coupe with Sport PASM and move forward.

Absolutely.

Essentially, a sway bars job is to reduce body roll and keep the vehicle flat through a turn. The flatter the vehicle stays the more "planted" and grip you'll experience. The stiffer/beefier the say bar is the less it will allow the vehicle to roll through a turn.

Lateral forces on the vehicle if not properly braced can give you an uneasy "loose" feeling. On Cabs especially, this can be exaggerated, since you loose the solid support of the roof connecting the 4 corners of the chassis.

I have a '15 GTS cab and second the recommendation for DSC. Car feels like it's glued down in a way that even passengers notice.
