Core offering

DSC Sport develops and sells dynamic suspension controllers (DSC) — plug-and-play electronic modules that replace factory suspension control units to provide real-time active damping control of electronic shocks for performance and sports cars. The company also offers vehicle-specific bundled coilover kits with Tractive Track Line and Nitron R1 elec-TRON shocks, DSC Tuner software for calibration customization, and supporting accessories and service packages.

Product overview

DSC Sport is a leader in active suspension technology, offering a portfolio of electronic suspension control products. The core offering is the DSC Controller line - plug-and-play modules that replace factory suspension control units to provide real-time damping control across 116+ products supporting vehicles from Porsche, Corvette, Audi, Volkswagen, Lamborghini, Dodge, Ford, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Honda, Acura, and Nissan. The product line is organized into three main categories: (1) DSC Controllers - the core platform that users can customize via DSC Tuner software and calibration files; (2) Third-party electronic shocks including Tractive Track Line and Nitron R1 elec-TRON offered as standalone or bundled products; and (3) Accessories/services including accelerometers, mounting brackets, and service packages. Products are vehicle-generation specific with no cross-compatibility between generations.
