DSC Sport Controller Suspension Module

[AspecR]

DSC Sport will be releasing a control module for the FL5/DE5 Adaptive Suspension later this year.

From their website:"

The controller, intended for use with the original shocks, replaces the factory suspension control module. The DSC Sport Controller fully and completely interfaces with the factory dash display and controls. Using the DSC Sport tuning software, users have the ability to tune the suspension just like tuning the engine, including full velocity tuning and PTM control.

The Controller serves as an intro package to the DSC Sport system and is perfect for daily drivers and the occasional DE events. Looking for more competitive performance advantages? Check out the Tractive DDA RT and RTx shock packages with coilover conversion options.

Tables include:
• G Force
• Brake Pressure
• Steering Angle
• Speed
• Acceleration
• Shock Calibration
• Velocity
• Performance Traction Management (PTM)"

For those that don't know DSC Sport is big in the Porsche community and they've been making great strides with Corvettes, Lamborghinis VW/Audi and a couple other brands. It'll pretty much allow you to fully tune your stock adaptive dampers to your liking. Expect the cost to be approxiamtely $1400. Matched with a set of ST Suspensions Adjustable Lowering Springs and HardRace Front Strut Mount/Camber Plate, you pretty much have your own coilover.

Nice alternative to a full active coilover. Wondering about the valving on the stock shocks compared to a full aftermarket though. Also RSR makes a full active coilover for the car for 3k and this is coming close in price but the RSR shocks are 36 way adjustable.

I see the benefit of being able to tune digitally, and ideally you get an active coilover and this module.

I think the biggest bang for the buck is for people who want to track a stock car but have some more precise tuning for the suspension.

Awesome.

Has anyone purchased?

I have run the DSC module on a few different applications (couple Vettes and a Porsche) and have had generally great results, they are a nice product. I will give it a try on the CTR for sure.

Nice! Had this on my Focus RS and it makes a hell of a difference. However, Im not sure how much better it's going to be from just grabbing the ITS Module. It'll for sure cost 5 times more.

For those on the fence, wait it out. I expect a few of these to pop up on the secondary market in the coming months. Definitely not an item that needs to be purchased new.

All of the old links are broken. This appears to be the one they are releasing for the Type R and Type S: https://www.dscsport.com/products/civic-dsc-sport-controller

Oh man, it’s finally available after months of seeing “coming soon”. Tempting at the back order discount price but not sure if I want to blindly shell out that much before hearing reviews. I currently have the ITS module but miss the stock modules edge, especially at low speeds. I’d ideally want to maintain the type r module’s edge in comfort setting while having access to a softer comfort mode and a usable +R mode when pushing it. So essentially a combination of the CTR and ITS modules. But maybe this module enhances all of these different modes I’m talking about through better programming which id definitely be willing to pay for.

The DSC makes the suspension act as more of an active setup, meaning that when you are cornering slowly and driving easy it is soft and compliant and the harder you push the car the more firm it becomes. It doesnt work like the factory ITS or CTR module, which are preset and passive.

You can also edit the calibration in the DSC module with your laptop if you know what you are doing or want to learn about it.

I’m convinced the stock module has some active compenent to it given how much direct the ctr feels at low speeds compared to the its module. Is it confirmed that it’s all passive?

In any case, I’m intrigued by the dsc controller. I’ve also had my eye on the e clik controller which allows you to change things in real time. Do you have any experience or comparisons with that as well?

I haven't heard of E Clik

 

[JBO]

DSC has a huge and proven rep in the Porsche world. I wouldn't even look at e-clik.
Seriously tempted...

This, DSC to me will represent a much better investment than either the ITS module or the E-Clik

I've been running SDI E-Clik on my FL5 the past month. Zero issues and it's been great getting to learn the system, play around with the settings on the fly.

I did contact DSC about a dealer account and unit, to which they responded hey prefer to be direct to consumer - which is fine. Still placed my pre-order for $995 USD, and will see how I feel about it versus SDI.

Made an overview video about the current setup:
