The factory controller only operates in a \"soft\" or \"stiff\" state with no behavior in-between, despite the incredible capability of the factory electronic shocks. Our controller has advanced programming that takes various inputs to provide fine-tuned control over the shocks in real time. The controller still retains factory comfort and sport functionally, and it doesn't compromise ride quality for performance. However, both modes rapidly increase performance depending on various inputs such as acceleration, brake pressure, G-forces, steering angle, speed, and damper shaft velocity.The experience is absolutely transformative. For the casual driver, the vehicle is more comfortable and rides better than stock. Uncomfortable bouncing and stiffness are reduced, and the car settles faster to provide increased stability. This is accomplished by using the full operating range of the electronic shocks to provide a pleasant experience when you're driving normally. But once you begin pushing the vehicle, the controller quickly adapts to provide performance you never knew was possible from the factory shocks. Even on a straight-line launch the system will help control weight transfer so you can improve your 60ft times for better acceleration and better times in the quarter mile. On a twisty back road, or on a proper track, the controller adjusts each shock individually to provide the grip you need to cut faster lap times with more confidence as the chassis is more balanced. It improves weight transfer on corner turns by allowing a smoother transition, all without the shocks loading the tires, while also reducing overall body roll. Simply put, your vehicle will ride and perform better in every scenario and stays true to our mantra of performance without compromise!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"productpage_list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect plug-and-play upgrade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides full dynamic control over the electronic shocks in real-time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimized ride quality and comfort during normal daily driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimized performance, handling, and cornering during spirited driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimized launch control, traction, grip, and weight transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces 60ft times for improve acceleration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore confident driving experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced signal processing provides real-time changes lightning fast speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReacts in real-time to driving style to provide comfort or performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetains various factory levels of switchable performance: Ex: “Comfort” vs “Sport”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully 3D-mapped to the capabilities of your factory electronic shocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with aftermarket springs, stabilizer bars, and other upgrades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit is unlocked and fully upgradable in the future\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit is completely reversible and removable without a trace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"title\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eIs this related to the DSC controller:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes! This setup is a collaboration with longtime partners at DSC. DSC worked with APR for over 3 years to build the VAG controller and software in its entirety. APR now offer the controller under our own name with the new tune and it’s in stock and ready to ship at an exciting new price point not found elsewhere. Our partners at DSC have been designing suspension controllers since 2007 and are the leaders in this arena.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWill I be able to custom tune:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
