80 & sunny- trades back at 10-15mph- surfs up on north shore-
just got back from longer drive w some freeway with DSC using mode 1 & 2- I like it on my 07TT- rides perfect in mode 1 for street use but no dipping or major movements- noticeable improvement at higher speeds than w/pasm off- much more controlled, yet bad streets don't feel harsh at all- i'd say it's not quite the cushy ride that it was before with pasm off- it's a bit firmer but much more controlled- feels great to me. i really like it- not much dip on braking- much less movement-- (I previously had an 02 996 C2 with X-74 suspension that i thought was perfect pcar suspension even for street use- it was stiff but not harsh)- Mode 2 tightens up the ride a bit more with even less movement- but i didn't find it too stiff at all on street- its a bit stiffer than mode 1 but still feels very nice on street- & even better on freeway at higher speeds- feels more planted- increased confidence at higher speeds- I found it nice even on some poor roads- I kept switching back between mode 1 & 2- both are very nice-
Briefly had it in mode 3 & it felt even firmer than other modes but not nearly as harsh as stock w/PASM on- from my brief time with it so far, i'll probably keep it in mode 2- it rides very nicely- on really poor roads in mode 1- though 2 is fine also.
PASM button- mode 1 keeps PASM button full red, in mode 2 it flashes 2 short red, in mode 3 flashes 3 short reds. Light is either lit or flashing briefly - turning on Sports Chrono apparently does nothing now to PASM now. Didn't see any PASM notice on dash as was there before when you turned it on or off. my brief time with the DSC- it's a keeper for me & glad i bought it -Car handles much better- more controlled esp as speed increases on freeway- Wish we had a track!!.

Sounds like great weather to keep having fun with your car! I am very glad that you are enjoying the DSC system!

We have been developing this system for over five years and most testing was conducted on track. The PASM shocks work great.
Here is a video of our Boxster Spyder that we converted to PASM at VIR. In this video, our car has street tires, no turbo kit at the time and is chasing an ex ALMS Ford GT and a Z06 that has many engine modifications, triple adjustable shocks and Hoosier slicks. All that our Spyder had in this video was DSC and a TPC Racing Stage 2 Suspension kit.

So ? could you use this to make non Pasm shocks like Ohlins or KW so they work with the different pasm settings ,or is this for only shocks that have Pasm built in already like Bilistien & can you pm me the info thanks.
