The factory MagneRide system in the S650 Mustang is already incredibly capable. But what happens when you get access to the calibration behind it?
In this video, we take my 2024 Mustang Dark Horse Handling Package to Carolina Motorsports Park to test the all new DSC Sport MagneRide Controller for the 2024+ S650 Mustang and see how much more performance can be extracted from the factory electronically controlled dampers.
DSC Sport gives enthusiasts significantly more control over how the dampers respond to vehicle inputs, allowing the suspension calibration to be optimized around driving style, track use, tire choice and future suspension modifications.
For someone like me who used to throw suspension parts at cars simply because they were available, that's probably one of the biggest takeaways from this project. The Dark Horse Handling Package is already an extremely capable package from Ford. Before replacing springs, bars and dampers, there's a surprising amount of performance and confidence available simply by better utilizing the hardware that's already on the car.
And if you do modify the suspension later? This controller covers that, too.
Lowering springs, different spring rates, sway bars, tire packages and other changes alter what the chassis needs from the dampers. Rather than being locked into the factory calibration, DSC gives you the ability to continue optimizing the system around the car as it evolves.
We also dive into the development behind the controller with DSC Sport / TPC Racing, including how lessons learned through professional motorsports and their Mustang Cup competition program are helping shape the calibration for the S650 platform.
The goal wasn't to fix a bad suspension. It was to take an already fantastic one and turn the volume up to 11.
