I have had this on my car for the last year, I’ve been tracking for about four years, Robert weathers who does a lot of work on these systems, says that this is really a Band-Aid solution compared to going with something more hard-core like MCS or DSC Tractive, if somebody is hard-core and using Hoosier R7 slicks, etc. etc… and has a bunch of SPL suspension components, sway bars etc…
I can tell you that a number of other people have sold their DSC controllers and gone to the DSSV from the ZLE when they went hard core, like I described above. Apparently it seems that the DSC controller does help with putting down the power and less nose dive under breaking, but it’s ultimately limited at keeping the car level on hard cornering, unless someone really knows how to calibrate it well, which nobody seems to, and unless much stiffer springs are used…
I saw a picture of my car at the track on a hard corner with YYZ lowering springs and 50% stiffer sway bars, but without the DSC controller, and it was embarrassing because my car looks like in 1970s Cadillac trying to take a corner, I could not believe how much body roll there was, that was on SC3R tires… while I don’t know what my car looks like with the DSC controller, it was enough to hear that it was a Band-Aid solution considering I will be using slicks next.
Hopefully that is somewhat helpful.
Last, but not least I don’t know anybody on this forum yet who has experience with the DSC tractive system, however, based on what I’ve heard so far and as stated above, my understanding based off Robert Weathers is also that it needs to be fully custom calibrated to be of maximum value, and once again, it seems almost nobody really knows how to do that effectively, not to mention the time involved to test and tune over and over again. Which is too bad because it seems that there option has the potential of the best of both worlds., considering it sounds like it can be a soft Street ride, perhaps, unlike MCS and Detroit speed coil overs?
