I have a DSC Sport controller(V2 i think) and a full set of DSC's Tractive shocks for sale. They all came on the car when I bought it. I swapped to coilovers for more dedicated track spring rates and control, so these are up for sale. I believe everything was on the car for around 8k miles (installed in 2017). I took the car to several track days this summer, so they have seen some abuse, but overall appear to be in pretty good shape. no weeping or anything. There are a couple scuffs on the shock body threading due to my poor handling during removal. (whoops).
I'd like $2800 for the set but I'm open to offers. I'm willing to ship as well.
PM me or drop any questions in the thread.

Reason: price drop
Would you sell the controller separate? I wonder if they’re preprogrammed to the tractive suspension. I see they ask when you buy the controller but offer warranty and support for $350 if you buy second hand
They can be reprogrammed fairly easily. I found several tunes and such on this forum. Setting the MRC or Tractive calibration doesn't appear to affect the rest of the tune either.
I would really prefer to sell it together. Unless you know of someone who already has the controller and wants the shocks....
If you decide to separate the controller let me know, I’m very interested located in Michigan. I don’t doubt you’d be able to sell the shocks in the “Corvette Track enthusiasts” facebook group as it’s a track oriented group or any of the other C7 specific ones. I could list some more if you’d like. Obviously using Paypal to avoid scammers.
There selling point is that the Tractive shocks utilize a mechanical valve that doesn't overheat or have latency/lag like the OEM magride shock have been shown to do. The DSC controller allows you to tune the characteristics and has some impressive option to do so. That said, like any shock, it is designed to operate with a range of spring rates and has minimum/maximum compression/rebound settings unless you get it re-valved. I decided to add some significant aero and based on how the car had been performing without it, decided to go with much higher spring rates than the OEM leaf springs. Rather than try to get the tractive shocks re-valved and fuss with the dozens of tuning parameters on the DSC system (and the need to add spring collars and such to the shocks), I got a deal on a set of used Penske 8300s with proven springs/valving for a similar setup.
Now, I never drove this car with the OEM suspension (bought it used), So I can't speak to how much of an upgrade the Tractive system is over OEM. But If your street/track ratio is more track oriented but you still want the comfort of street manners at times, These are likely a solid upgrade per others reviews and comments.
They are the tractive shocks. No spring perches. These were originally installed prior to the coilover version being available. I've been told DSC will sell the perches separately.
Ok, thank you for the quick reply. I'll contact them Monday and see what it would take to get them moved over to some 800lb springs (if they have them) and recalibrated for my set up. My current FE7 suspension and factory LCA bushings are being overwhelmed by my faircloth composite splitter and ZTKXL rear wing. it's changing the alignment geometry in the esses, turn 6 and hog pen badly at VIR and instead of quicker times, I'm struggling to man handle the car to 1:59s. I'm over a second off my pace. Im' going to go monoball and upgrade the suspension to either mechancial like you, or to a set of tractive with the DSC.
