DSC makes a full replacement system, but it is over $7000.


Agreed, but the bolded part is backwards, magride is undersprung in sport and track modes, it needs to have soft spring rates in order for tour mode to work. The dampers are pretty amazing but ultimately the spring rates need to be higher. I ended up at 4.5x OEM rates up front and 2.5x out back. It's a big difference.

DSC is really interesting but you need to have the time and money to take advantage of it's abilities. I ultimately decided I did not and instead of buying the DSC coilovers I bought MCS RR2 and my DSC controller is currently for sale if anyone is interested, just shoot me a PM. It's enough for me to have basic compression and rebound adjustment.
