I started this is a new thread because I wanted to find out what the impression is of the handling for those of you folks who have used the TPC DSC wth H&R springs. Overall, my impression is that the DSC is definitely worth the money, and I would buy it again without hesitation. When I first got the DSC unit, I tried it for a few days in each different mode. I finally settled into using it in mode 3 pretty much all the time, except for when my wife and daughter are in the car in which case I will use mode 1. The reason that I use mode 3 is because in either of the other two modes, I feel that the suspension is still a little bit too soft, and I get some "pogo stick "motion over undulating pavement. It is light years better with the DSC than without it on Sport mode, but that motion is still there. In reading the various reviews, it seems that most of you use it in mode 1 or 2. From what I have read on the forums, it seems that the H&R springs may be the softest of the aftermarket variants. I would like a firmer spring, with a little bit more ride height and I'm considering either the Techart or the GMG springs. I'd like to find out what the impression is from you guys who happen to have the H&R springs with the DSC, as well as those of you who have other springs coupled with the DSC.

Thanks,

Interested in hearing responses on this as well as I am considering H&R/Champion springs at some point and separately interested in the TPC DSC unit.

So based on your post, you currently have the H&R springs and are investigating changing the springs out?

 

Yes. I have the Champion/H&R springs but I think they are too soft. I'm looking to change for something stiffer but with a little more ground clearance.

 

I have the GMG springs and sways and the DSC unit. I use mode 2 mostly. When I first got the car I drove someone else's car with the H&R springs and my recollection was that they were stiffer than the GMGs, but that memory is 5 years old. Basically I'm suggesting that you don't bother changing your H&Rs unless you can verify for yourself that the other springs are more to your taste.

 

The "feel" is important but just as much or more so is gaining a little more ride height. I don't want to go back to stock springs and don't use the car for any significant track duty that would justify coilovers although that would solve the ride height issue. The reason why I wanted to poll the forum about their H&R experience with the DSC is because I seem to be one of the few who rides in mode 3 all the time.
