You can't tell much about suspension tuning from AutoX.

You need triple digit speeds and a sweeping curve with a dip or broken pavement mid-corner when the suspension is loaded up to really tell how good the tuning is.

There are two very different things going on when you are talking about whether it is better or not. One is ride quality, the other (which to me is more important) is the damping curves on both compression and rebound and how quick it settles the chassis after it is upset from a dip, bump, road imperfection, etc.

What I believe DSC is doing is changing the ride quality under certain conditions, not making the damping curves any better. And by doing that, they are probably making it less stable under certain circumstances because from what I have read about them is they actually soften up some areas.
