EDC coding with Tractive Touring setup?

[TR930]

Anyone out there have feedback on coding their tractive suspension?

CS vs OEM? I have a non CS/ZCP car with Tractive Touring. Considering the CS coding for it.

What were your findings?

CS makes a noticeable difference on base models which use different EDC dampers from CS & ZCP models.

Resetting the running time memory also makes a difference but periodically resetting running time should keep the TracTive dampers from working the way they were designed to work (see pages 12 and 15 in the EDC section of the attached document):

and the second link that shows you what the ista screen reset looks like (actually it’s for the e92 M3 but f8x is similar):

It’ll make a small difference in how the min damping works (close to 2 V, or dropped EDC ~1.5 to 2.0 V output due to increasing min damping from the running time program) but not how the max damping (close to 0 V output) works. If you run volt meters connected to EDC dampers, you can find roads with min damping output works on roads with min damping. Knowing roads where adjusted min damping output allows you to feel/sense these subtle changes in EDC min damping output especially when making changes to min damping output only on TracTive min damping.

I went back to stock setting, ride is very compliant but sporty, especially in comfort.

I take it from this you kept your Tractive coilovers? How are they treating you?

Yes. They are a nice street setup which uses springs with rates close to zcp rates (touring - 35/120 N/mm, divorced rear spring). They probably have better than average performance on track. However, if you plan on doing 3-4+ track events/year, the Track line is a much better choice between the two setups. The Track line uses 120/80 N/mm (coilover rear) spring rates. The rear wheel rates are pretty close for the divorced rear and coilover rear setups which are 51 N/mm (divorced) vs. 46.2 N/mm (coilover), respectively. Both options also have a direct plug-n-play EDC controller option and a standalone controller. I’d personally probably go with the Track line setup
and the standalone controller option.
