I gotta look at Motorsport Reg calendar. Coming from 18901 so definitely two day event. I have DSSV package coming to me soon. Guess I'll find out soon enough if they are worth the effort. Last edited by NickyRacerBoy; 01-01-2019 at 09:52 PM. |

Just read this entire thread over lunch today. Was considering buying a DSSV setup used for cheap but since I haven't even driven my SS1LE on track yet, I think I'll just pass. Sounds like the solid cradle bushing kit is a must though.
Thanks again this is one of the most informative posts I've ever seen. |

You are spot on with the rear solid cradle bushings, that is the only weak point on the SS 1LE. The rear-end moves around a little too much in stock form when really pushing it and especially when doing evasive or transition maneuvers. With the solid cradle bushings, it makes it feel Porsche laser accurate in the rear.

I know this is a bit off subject for the thread but in your opinion (as a 1LE owner as well as your GS) what would you do for a TT3 build on an SS 1LE? I was considering this recently, looking at 18s, R7s, DSSVs and maybe aero. And the RTx whatever they are coming out with soon, is that shocks or springs? I saw a guy on FB talking about that this morning saying they were coming out with springs to use with the stock dampers + their controller. Riding shotgun in a ZL1 1LE on VIR this year sold me pretty good on the DSSVs, I need to ride in/drive an SS 1LE with the DSC setup to at least compare the feel of them.

The major crutch the DSC controller has is it doesn't use corner ride heights in it's calculations, and it's always reactive in X and Y axes, not predictive. The DSC software doesn't account for Z-axis position or acceleration whatsoever. It can't know if the car is floating mid-jump or being compressed in a banked turn. This is why the DSC controller can never be as good as this generation of OEM MRC. The only successes are guys that have vested interests in DSC and are auto-xing with no vertical undulations. It's a particular use case that doesn't apply to road or track.

From the only posts I could find were Corvette owners saying how much plush the ride was cruising down the highway. If I didnt buy DSSV I'll go threw Phoenix Racing and get a set of Penski. Andrew Aquitaine and Kurt K. Move pretty good. |

Racer89 is it true that DSC doesn't ride height or speed to do calculations? I hope your reply to shed some light on this if you don't that will be disappointing. |

Something else to add about the DSC controller is despite having new hardware/firmware from what Ryephile used, this latest version didn’t have support for our 2018/2019 PTM. I don’t know if this was updated or not as the website used to say that they’re working on it.
My experience with the previous controller was not that great in the minimal time on the street I kept it on. The car felt lighter and more athletic but it didn’t handle bumps well at all and would jack rabbit over the largest ones. The controller was sent back for repair after it would give me repeated “suspension service” error popups on the gauge cluster display and couldn’t be detected on my laptop for software updating. DSC sent me their brand new hardware setup at no cost after I waited several months for a new controller but with my ZL1 sidelined, it’s sat in the box so I can’t say what’s better or worse with the new controller yet. If they are still without PTM support it is a big problem and tells me the product is probably half-baked from having the hardware release pushed back for so many months and trying to get something to market before the software is ready. I would confirm PTM support if you want a DSC controller and own a 2018/2019.

Racing 89 has 9 posts. It definitely feels like a shill to me.
based on the research I have done on it , there are more negatives things out there than positive ones. GM has done MRC for a long time now and has it down better than the Ford applications, I am bound to trust GM's calibrations. I had MRC on my Audi TTRS as well and Audi has it dialed in too.
