DSC Sport Controller Suspension Module

[lflouie]

Differently how? In a good way or bad way?

Agree, it changes a very track oriented suspension with relatively narrow suspension damping per mode into a very wide range of capabilities within each mode. Basically modestly raising overall initial damping and overall damping in each mode vs the lower mode.....and matches up very well for an aggressive street with daily dcapabilities. When I first installed it I felt it was overly favoring a soft setup...but as I pushed harder in each mode looked for any compromises I found that while it feels different it really creates a very very capable and well mannered sport/ street setup that makes for a wonderful setup on an aggressive weekend car.

Alright people, BIG updates! I've been patient and let the last revision settle in for a few months. The comfort settings were plush but so much so that I lost steering feel and introduced unsafe levels of rebound. At highway speeds, the car was too floaty for my liking which sent me back to the drawing board.

One challenge I've had with the software is the ability to properly interpret the datalogs without using the DSC software. For those of you that know, you must have the computer connected to the module to read the datalogs. This doesn't work well for me so instead I setup to create application to do the interpretation.

What I'm calling Data Analyzer is still a work in progress, but here are a few snapshots of what to expect:

I plan to eventually package this and offer for others to test at some point in the future.

I want to try this map, but I have a few questions. If I want to reset back to the stock DSC map, how would I do that. Also, do you think it make a huge difference if I’m just using stock suspension? Also, is the vehicle to use still the Ford Mustang GT? I don’t see the FL5 in there. Either way I’m gonna give it a shot, and happy to give my input.

When you first open DSC Controller, you should save Read All and Save the file. This ensures you can revert back at any time otherwise the changes will be lost. DSC has good write ups on their support page on how to apply new revisions.

I can’t say for certain that it will make a huge difference since that would be my opinion and we all have different tolerances although it should be noticeable.

I was directed by DSC to select the Ford Raptor as it has the same mode selections for the Type S. Vehicle selection only impacts the mode selection in the settings as far as I’m aware. What’s important is that you have 3 distinct selections, the names don’t matter.

Happy tuning!

Hey I just tried uploading this file to my DSC and drove my car for about a mile everything was feeling great and then the car just died and now it won’t start. I thought the battery must have died so I tried to jump it but that didn’t work. Car cranks but does not start. Any ideas?

Nevermind I figured it out, was something unrelated haha

 

[Rhorn]

What was wrong?

 

[ZackeyTypeR]

What was wrong?

I have a kill switch and there is a ground wire that attaches to the seat bolt that you have to remove to access the suspension module. When I removed the bolt it removed the ground wire so I was kill switching myself can’t even steal my own damn car

Sounds like the DSC is amazingly adaptable to street and track conditions, using G sensor and brake sensor data in real time to adjust damping on the fly. I've heard good things across dive-resistance which helps keep weight on the rear, staying flat in turns, and over rough patches and potholes. That it's more comfortable in comfort than ITS yet firms up with aggressive driving is spectacular too.

Is it similar to CTR or ITS modes going across dips? I don't find stock uncomfortable in this regard, but the rubber deflector hits every rain gutter dip across parking lots and exiting driveways going faster than 3mph. I happen to encounter two every day. Most comfort adjustment in dampers I understand is in rebound, this DSC seems to do compression well too, but if it trends comfort at low speed and input it may also bottom out easier. I'm currently running CTR in +R so I would expect DSC to bottom out more at similar speed. Any observations on this?

I have the suspension set to comfort (steering to sport, engine +R)

I have not noticed any bottoming out with the DCS.

But that does not mean that it did not, just that I have not noticed it, since I also have not noticed it in over a year of driving with the ITS module (which I installed the next weekend after I purchased the car, so I cannot comment on the CTR module)

I asked AI to search any owner reports of bottoming out, but it found none.

Is the rubber deflector you're talking about the one in front of each wheel well?

It's the rubber strip in front of it that runs the length of the front bumper. It tells me I'm probably less than an inch from bottoming out on a dip. Not the worst thing, it's replaceable, but I don't want to bottom out on the actual lip, which is more likely on a parking lot exit with a deeper rain gutter.

Oh, I see, I thought you meant that the suspension/springs/shocks bottomed out. Sorry. Should have read more carefully.

I hit the front rubber strip each time I drive out of my driveway onto the street, even at zero mph, no compression of the suspension. my driveway slopes down to the street which has a slight crown (center of the street higher than the sides), so the car is angled downward and the street is angled upwards.

Though I never recall hitting the rubber strip while driving in parking lots, over speed bumps, etc.
