Default DSC Sport Active Suspension Controller

I’m looking to buy a DSC Sport Active Suspension Controller for my 997tt suspension in the spring. Does anyone know of a deal or where I can find one less expensive than on their main website?

They come up for sale (used) in the Classifieds once in a while. FWIW, this is likely the best price/benefit mod I think you can make to these cars.

Just a word to the wise. While I agree with this for a car with unmodified suspension I can't, from personal experience, say the same for one that is. I lowered my TTS with Eibachs, rebalanced the tires, aligned all 4-wheels, and installed a DSC. The DSC reduces the major bumps but overall my ride is still a little harsh. However, I attribute this to 1) it's a TTS, 2) aging Bridgestone N2's, 3) GT2 alignment, and 4) lowering. But, that's not the fault of the DSC which IMO is doing it's best to compensate. I also know TPC can selectively tune the DSC to match my suspension modifications so perhaps that's my next step because they are 1.5 hours away.

My car is also lowered but on fresh tires. I like the way the car feels.

Like other posters, they occasionally come up for sale in the classifieds, but I can't point to a better value for improving your suspension (if you have PASM) than this one. It is worth every penny.

I bought this car about 6 months ago. It's a rocketship!

If you do, please follow-up here with your experience and perhaps share the file. Mine is setup similarly to yours, and I agree with your assessment that while DSC helps, it’s not the transformational change I read about on here. The software has some calibration function for ride height, but when I tried it did not work on my 997.2. I think only 991+ has the necessary sensors.
