Trying to decide what setup to run. Any input from people with the DSC module with different springs or PSS10 coilovers. Car will tracked a few times a year. So dont min a stiff ride buy dont want be terrible on the street. Any input is appreciated. Thanks, Eric

 

Eric,
Best thing to do here is to start out with just the DSC module and see how the car handles for your needs. Its a significant upgrade and makes the OEM suspension far better without any other changes on and off the track right off the bat and then go from there.

^ what he said

One of the most cost effective ways to improve handling without any changes to mechanicals.

 

I am going to agree 100% with what everyone said here... But I've been on the track with tpc module and I felt the car needed just a little more... Now I'm not say the car didn't handle.. It was great .. But it was still just a little soft... You can start with tpc module..but the ultimate set up wil be .... Module- gmg springs-and sway bars...then your car with those mods will rock..also make sure that the shop that does your work is really good at suspension modification and not some joe Smoooo doo heeeky... As the suspension alignment is the most important part and dialing your setting in are very important...

 

I run the H&R sway bars, the Techart springs, make the alignement twice a year and I feel my car too soft as well.
I'm asking myself the same question as OP cause I'm not sure the DSC will be enough: it works with the hydraulic regulation and I guess my springs are still too soft.

 

Do you have the module as well?

 

No or not yet, as Eric I ask myself about bolting the DSC or some coilovers.
Perhap's the both starting with the module, but more $ involved if still not firm enough.

 

Yeah, I like a firm track car and just like to do stuff once, so I think i'm just gonna order a set of coilovers and few other suspension parts with the DSC and be done once. Then I can tweak that. I know if I just put Eibach springs on it it will prolly handle excellent, but cant beat the adjustability of coil overs.

 

I have the Damptronics and GT2 swaybars with the DSC controller, absolutely great combination. I highly recommend downloading the free software for the controller. I used it to modify the settings and for my taste had great results. I had the Damptronics before I got the DSC so I cannot speak for using it with the stock suspension but it seems that it has received great reviews with the stock suspension and that may be the way to go before you spend money on suspension components. Having said that with the Damptronics you can lower ride height, with the stock suspension you can't. There are always positives and negatives, it is a balancing act for what you want to accomplish. If you want more adjustability to your suspension then you will have to upgrade suspension components but I would still get the DSC with the software.

 

I don't want to try to sell you on anything unsolicited, but since you're interested in the DSC and are thinking you might want just a little more platform in the corners, I would highly recommend this package or one like it:

Most of our local DE and club racers typically start out with this package, and we've seen great results. Great improvements on the track without a jarring or uncomfortable ride on the street.

We also have coilover options that are compatible with the DSC unit, but the above package is a great starting point.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Otherwise, the floor is all yours!

I run now the DSC module for a few monthes, first with the oem coilovers+TechArt springs, and for a few days with the Bilstein Damptronic B16s "sport".
The module is great but was not enough for my need.
The handling seems to me close to perfect for now, even with the Sport mode off; the module works fine with the B16s.
If the handling was 11/20 I would say the module alone improved to 13/20 and the combination module+B16s to 17/20. (Imho a bit stiffer should be ok)
I didn't tried the B16s with the oem PASM module.

 

Good to hear it seems to be working for you. If you want a little stiffer and more sporty handling and are on street tires I would very highly recommend the Bridgestone RE-11. Also aftermarket sway bars if you don't already have them. Both (RE-11 and sway bars) will be significant improvement over stock when it comes corner behavior IMHO.

The Bridgestone RE-11 is a street tire with very stiff sidewall stiffness, almost like that of a R comp tire. It is quite a bit stiffer/more sporty than Michelin Pilot Super Sport. I switched and have not looked back, now on my second set.

 

Hi Can,
I already run the H&R sway bars (Fsoft/Rstiff) and some MPSC2, I can try the RE-11 next time.
Nevertheless my feeling is the rear spring rate could be a little more stiffer, in corners no problem, but in fast large curves under hard load the chassis has still (less of course) longitudinal movements from the rear my old 993TT has even not. (Alignement is 1 week old with your specs!)

 

If you have DSC and are looking to make the car stiffer, you can download the DSC Sport software at www.dscsport.com and click on tuning. If you download the software, you can create a custom map for your module to make the car exactly how you would like it. Please feel free to email us if you have any questions while using the software.
