My 10pence worth on “The Experts”
The car was designed by experts, did these experts sub contract out the engine specifications on rods, pistons and which locktite to use to stop the balance shaft coming loose and falling into the rotating mass or the PTU/RDU over heating on track in less time than it takes to boil a kettle. Well they did a fine job.
So yes spending £2k on Upgraded parts such as rods and pistons won’t do anything apart from not fail you won’t even realise this but you dropped £2k on a part you’ll never hopefully see again.
The DSC box is infinitely tuneable in 3 different modes and is truly predictable in the same manner as the factory box it just adds more to the available damper system. Eliminating body roll in the corners stopping all that body weight sitting on the outside tyres trying to help push you off the road reduced rear squat on acceleration or reduced nose dive on braking giving you as a driver more control.
If I new how good the DSC box made the 2017 car and again made a 2018 even better due to “The Expert” changing the damper valve setup.
The 2017 car with H&R springs and anti-rollbars was a hoot to drive and if I knew how good the package actually was I may not have gone full Tractive on the 2018 car but the Tractive kit was ordered and deposit paid which when it arrived it put the 2018 car into a whole new level of handling ability.
If you do get a DSC box you seriously won’t regret it and if you do; don’t get the KW DDC v3 setup and DSC as it’s no better than the dampers on 2016/17 cars with the DSC, but not as good as a 2018 car running a DSC factory dampers and either H&R (linear firmer) or Eibach (progressive softer) springs
