Default Performance Mode Question

I finally spent some time looking through all the car's menus and settings, etc. Is it possible to change the shock settings such that Tour and Sport both use the same stiffness?

I can see where I can change the 'look' of each driving mode - but can you change the actual performance settings of each mode?

Thanks!

P.S.
Reason for asking is that I'll probably want to spend most of my time in Sport mode, but want the slightly softer ride associated with Tour mode since the roads are often pretty bumpy where I live...

Nope. Shock setting and throttle progression are linked to drive mode only. Steering effort, performance exhaust, and dash display modes can be linked to drive mode or set to your preference.

DSCsport controller can be custom tailored to your specic goals. That's exactly how my car is set up I'm running basically same shock maps in touring and sport as I always leave my car in sport.
Have Fun

Mike, why does the new DSC file have the same shock calibration for sport and track? Just downloaded it this morning and they're identical with 0% at 100ma and 100% at 1100ma.

Thanks for looking I'm traveling now but I think the real offset is in the default value of the Gtable this is the starting marker as well the sensitivity and gforce next to default may be different. This is only to provide the comfort area. Remember this is truly active so velocity has huge influences. I'm trying to finish a new to be released software suite it will self extract with an installer load driver have help menues and even a firmware loader built in . I'll also be releasing the next level of V3 tuned files or pdts. It has been huge in testing. I'll look forward to you down loading and giving your feedbacfeedbackhave fun tuning let me know how I can help
