Default Eibachs or DSC module?

About the same cost...
I'm thinking DSC module.

Yes both. Also see if you can get -20mm sports PASM springs for 997 C4 GTS rather than eibach. According to TPC they sag less.

If anyone has a part nos for those 997 C4 GTS - 20mm sports springs much appreciated as I'd like to try them before going over to a coil over solution.

I installed both. No question it's a win-win.

I wanted improved ride and handling on my 997.1tt, but i didn't want to lower the car bc of drive way and speed bump scraping front lip with stock suspension. DSC (alone) works great to greatly improve ride as well as increasing cornering and handling capabilities without needing to drop the car. A great street setup...but if I was occasionally tracking then adding springs would make sense.

Thanx, no tracking.

If your objective is lowering for looks then springs will work...but trades off ride, IMO. If you're OK with the look of stock height but want better cornering handling than DSC alone, add GT2 rear sway bar to reduce cornering role and increase responsiveness...roughly $500 additional. Modest decrease in ride quality for better feel and handling.

I just installed a DSC controller, game changer!

Start there, add springs down the road depending on suspension needs/plans.

With PSS9's I added the DSC. In all my years of suspension modifications this was the one single most cost effective and dramatic improvement ever.

Have both DSC and Eibachs on my 997.2 TT. Would stretch the budget to do it again if at all possible.

Neither, stick with stock or go the B-16 route for the ultimate system at 3k. B8’s with lowering springs are at the same price point as the B16. I tried the DCS with my Eibachs springs, removed it and put the stock box back on. Couldn’t help the bouncing front and that’s what I experienced.

I think you're one of the only people to remove the DSC and go back to stock PASM...

Negative, I know of another with a 997.2 turbo S.


Quick Reply: Eibachs or DSC module?
