Bilstein Damptronics + TPC DSC

My car is currently outfitted with stock suspension and TPC DSC. I only drive this car on the street, but I hate the 4x4 look. I have considered installing springs, but I don't like the lack of adjustability, and not pairing the springs with the shocks properly (travel range, etc).

My question is, does anyone with the Bilstein Damptronics have the TPC DSC as well? I'm happy to sell my DSC and put it towards the damptronics, but not sure if I could get better street comfort/performance if I retained it.

The DSC provides major improvements with all PASM compatible struts/shocks including the Damptronics. I have some B16s I plan to install sometime fairly soon and no way would I get rid of the DSC box!

I run Tech Art's branded version of Bilstein PSS9's (the bilstein PASM shock and Tech Art springs - springs which are made by Eibach) and the DSC is the single most beneficial suspension upgrade I have ever done to any vehicle I have owned, period.

I run the Damptronics + the DSC for 2 years, works well.
The riding height is adjustable of course.
My lonely regret is the rear is still too soft imho.
I never worked on the DSC matrix mapping but perhap's it permits to stiffer the compression damping and helps.

There are some other maps available on their site and there was some talk about adding more, so I would get in touch with them and see what's available. I too think my Sport could be just a tad stiffer, but man oh man, what a difference. I just can't say enough about this. If you have PASM you would be quite remiss not adding it to your vehicle.
