The steering in DSC off mode with GTS coding is fantastic - the best variant of all the codings/modes available. You will like it.
The Euro setting is apparently only related to the tire monitoring system, so you should get all the benefits either way.


I'm running the staggered on my car at the moment. i shouldn't think it would affect the damping that much, but may have a slight impact due to different unsprung weights.

PS: The 2 click differential front to rear is also great on the road, not just for track.

Cheers.
So I got my M2C coded according to this thread except that the guy left out the F82GTS for the DSC and it is still on the default F87CS. Just wondering if that would make a significant difference in the function or performance? From what I can tell the Euro MDM isn't really much different from US MDM as it is still too intrusive on track and I have to use the DSC OFF mode.

GTS steering definitely feels less artificially heavy and more natural, and I can actually use comfort mode for cruising around town now. The more I read up on these hidden modes the more I get confused though. So is DSC OFF it's own mode as well? I have my M Drive settings on MDM, Drivetrain Sport+, Steering Sport, and once I'm on track I hold the DSC button for DSC OFF after. In that case does that mean the DSC OFF reconfigures my M Drive settings to something else?

Since you mentioned the Euro setting is related to the TPMS, I'm just wondering does the TPMS affect any other systems in the car? As 26 PSI is the ideal tire pressure on track, I constantly get the low tire pressure errors on the dash and I can't reset it to be at that pressure cause I guess it is too low from the manufacture specs.

The GTS Differential does seem to be more reactive to throttle inputs and the car corners a little tighter than before. Although mine is a 6MT, even the shifting feels smoother if that makes any sense as I always found there to be some slop in the shifter engagement.

I flipped the 2-click differential like you said and it does work very well. I'm still confused on as to why as I was expecting the car to be oversteery with the rear stiffer, but the car still handles fairly neutral and easy to catch when the rear does step out.

Sorry for all the questions and thanks again for the tips.
