I have these shocks and the DSC Sport controller on my C7 Z06 and they really are phenomenal. The car rides better than stock in tour mode and I've dropped 2 seconds a lap at VIR with them. I can hammer the curbs on track all day long and it never upsets the car. The softness in the stock suspension that had me dragging the splitter under braking and rubbing the wheel wells in cornering is also gone.
I'm going to keep bugging DSC Sport to adapt their setup for the F8x. I think they just have their hands full right now ramping up the Cayman and Corvette stuff. Hopefully we can get this on their roadmap. |

Concur. Drove my friend's Cayman GT4 and 911 GT3 and found the damping quality mind blowing. It was their best attribute in my nonprofessional evaluation.

Every road/track test I've ever seen on any modern Porsche, the two things it's ALWAYS praised for is it's braking and suspension damping. I'm sure I'll get some hate for this, but I don't think M division is putting out what they are capable of. They have clearly fallen behind on most performance matrix attributes.

I know it is also used in Audis and Ferraris but not sure who makes it. But as a counterpoint, I'll ask you why doesn't BMW use the topmost quality dampers in their flagship sport sedan? It is of noticeably lower quality than some of the competition's.

For Porsche 2 seaters its easier , less comprimises. no 2 persons in the back, less- to almost no luggage space ..... Its the same with sport motorcycles always too soft , made for passenger my last car was a 997 GT3 , i had to replace the original suspension because already at 50k kilometers. it was squaking all the time. Even Porsche wanted to give me 50 % discount on oem , but i didnt want their suspension. I went with Intrax ( its a local company) suspension was much better. Higher quality and serviceable. The oem is not. I'm waiting for my m4 lci. So I dont know yet how good/bad the suspension is. But if it is bad as i read here sometimes i will upgrade. I will go with intrax (have experience with m4 racing) or tractive ( that company is also local , 30 km drive) http://en.intraxracing.nl/laatste-projecten/bmw-m4/ Dont know who's making the magneto suspension. but that one depends a lot on software |

Hey mate,
I noticed you said that the car rides more comfortable in comfort mode with this suspension setup than the standard springs and shocks whilst gaining traction and stability? Normally when you lower a car it rides harsher than standard? Just curious to know how the comfort is in comfort mode with the lowering springs? Do you know what pricing is for this setup? |

In sports plus it is harsh but still you can feel that damphers works much better espessially when you attack the edge on track. That keeps car more stabel and gives more grip. I'm totally happy with this set up even thinking in getting ZCP sway bars or not. Also I'm thinking in getting the GTS ecu map because the car is ready to put more power to the ground.
