I installed the mod, and it worked flawlessly!! What a difference!!!
The car behaves so aggressively now and very responsive.
Here is what I noticed when playing with the different parameters...
DS vs Sport = I see a huge difference between the two as the Sport option provides tighter/heavier steering in addition to throttle response
Sport + DS = I didn't notice anything special there. So D + Sport is perfect.
Thanks to the OP ABD all who contributed especially Roskinc for his excellent video which I followed step by step. Had everything done in 15 minutes.
I'm a happy little camper
Edit: Sport + Manual shifting is amazing!! still can't get over how this car now behaves. One issue I have with it though...It's a guzzler in sports mode However the V8 sure is worth it!!

Sorry if I'm repeating someone's question....
For those who have US LCI models, do you follow posts 417 and 418?
This is great thread, but to have DIY separately for LCI and pre LCI would even better.

Installed Mod today on 2006 Msport
No real change,,, feels like gear selector moved to the left No steering change. I was hoping for faster shifts but its too close to tell. I made a quick guide from the details in this post for Pre LCI, hope it helps someone
2nd thoughts, the throttle response is different, less peddle movement for more throttle response. Smoke and mirrors.Does feel great, Steering - No Change, gear change speed -No Change
