Does the DSC Sport V1 work with non-Nitron dampers?

No. The DSC Sport V1 controller is designed specifically for use with Nitron elec-TRON coilover kits on the 4S R8. It controls Nitron's proprietary proportional solenoid valve and is configured specifically for this application.

Does installing the DSC Sport V1 affect the factory dash display or controls?

No. The V1 replaces the factory shock controller but interfaces directly with the factory dash display and controls, so everything the factory system was designed to do continues to work exactly as intended. The driving experience from behind the wheel stays seamless.

How does the DSC Sport V1 differ from a standard suspension controller?

The V1 is fully user-definable, processing brake pressure, g-force, acceleration, steering inputs, and vehicle speed simultaneously to determine the correct damping level in real time. Full individual shock calibration tables give drivers and engineers the depth to develop a setup properly; dialing in more grip for the track or a more compliant character for daily road use, with the same level of precision you'd apply to engine tuning.

Can the DSC Sport V1 be used on both a daily driver and a track setup?

Yes. The V1 is designed to work across the full range of use cases, from daily road driving to full-time track setups. The individual shock calibration tables and real-time data processing mean the controller adapts to whatever the car is being asked to do, without requiring a separate setup for each context.

Description

Nitron elec-TRON DSC Sport V1 Controller for 4S Audi R8

The Nitron elec-TRON DSC Sport V1 controller is a required component for the elec-TRON coilover kits on the 4S Audi R8, replacing the factory shock controller entirely while interfacing directly with the factory dash display and controls so nothing is lost from the driver’s perspective. It processes brake pressure, g-force, acceleration, steering inputs, and vehicle speed simultaneously, using full individual shock calibration tables to determine the correct damping level at any given moment. The result is a fully user-definable suspension platform that can be tuned with the same precision you’d apply to an engine; dialing in more mechanical grip for the track or softening the setup for daily road use, all without stepping outside the factory interface the R8 was designed around.

Features

Replaces factory shock controller
Interfaces with factory dash display and controls
Calculations include brake pressure, g-force, acceleration, steering, speed and full individual shock calibration tables

About Nitron Suspension

Nitron Suspension has been at the forefront of precision suspension engineering since 1998, founded by Guy Evans with the goal of building high-performance shocks for enthusiasts and professionals alike. Over 200 dealers now carry Nitron products across Europe, Asia, the US, Australasia, and Africa. In 2008, the company moved into a dedicated facility in the UK’s Motorsport Valley, adding dynamometers, 5-axis CNC machines, and 3D CAD capabilities to support both growing demand and continued product development. A second expansion came in 2023 with a new office in Murrieta, California. The team behind every Nitron product draws from deep backgrounds in machining, materials technology, hydraulics, bike engineering, and F1 racing, with many engineers bringing firsthand experience as competitive drivers and riders. That depth of knowledge across both the technical and competitive sides of motorsport shapes every product Nitron develops.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
