quick question on upgrading; I recall reading in one of your previous posts that you are planning a version (or at least thinking about) that can be updated by the end user (usb programming)?
What are you thoughts on upgrading the units until such an option is available, and a trade-in program for early adopters once/if such becomes available?
Thanks

Not sure this is useful, but the Damptronics spring rate for the kit sold for the GT3 is 350/570 - I got that data directly from Bilstein California when I re-valved my shocks - I would have thought the front rates might be the same on the GTS shocks if the rears are also identical.

Here are others Bilstein spring rated for reference-
GT3/RS/GT2 2006 production year ~330/720
GT3/RS/GT2 2010 production year ~350/720
Carrera/2S ~260/570
Carrera 4/4S ~290/570
Turbo/S ~290/660
*Besides the GT3/RS/GT2 coilovers, all others have consistent spring rates throughout the production years from by testing*
**I have rounded these numbers to the nearest 10**

thanks for that info
when i got this information from them it really surprised me as it was kind of strange but he was very insistent it was true
we even had a long discussion about it and he explained that the factory was crazy for choosing such a soft OE mk1 front spring rate but they thought the rear rate was good
i wonder if an earlier kit used a softer rear rate and they then bumped it when the mk2s came out with and even higher rear rate

Let us know how it goes, I want to firm up my .1, really don't like the normal street car wobble on turn in, but also don't want to have to run crazy springs and shocks that make the car less street friendly

DSC will work with Damptronics and on a GTS. The standard Damptronic spring rates are ~260/570. DSC will make the car perform as if it had 450/650 springs only when the chassis is loaded during braking and cornering.
Please be advised that even though DSC functions the same on all 997 models the different models do have different CAN(Control Area Network) ID codes to "handsake" with the instrument cluster, just as the factory PASM boxes do. Not all models are interchangeable. As a result of non-interchangeable CAN ID codes, DSC will still function as intended but there will a PASM fault message displayed on the instrument cluster. For that reason, it is important to get the DSC coded for your model.
PM sent re price.
