I want to replace my rear suspension, but I don't know what DSC is. Does anyone knows and please explain for me :P. Thanks.

Why do you need to "replace the rear suspension" ??

From the owners manual available either in your car or online:

https://www.mymazda.com/MusaWeb/pdf/...09_RX-8_OM.pdf

The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
automatically controls braking and engine
torque in conjunction with systems such
as ABS and TCS to help control side slip
when driving on slippery surfaces, or
during sudden or evasive maneuvering,
enhancing vehicle safety.
Refer to ABS (page 5-8) and TCS (page
5-25).

WARNING

Do not rely on the dynamic stability
control as a substitute for safe driving:

The dynamic stability control (DSC)
cannot compensate for unsafe and
reckless driving, excessive speed,
tailgating (following another vehicle
too closely), and hydroplaning
(reduced tire friction and road
contact because of water on the road
surface). You can still have an
accident.

CAUTION

The DSC may not operate correctly
unless the following are observed:

Use tires of the correct size
specified for your Mazda on all
four wheels.

Use tires of the same
manufacturer, brand and tread
pattern on all four wheels.

Do not mix worn tires.

The DSC may not operate correctly
when tire chains are used or a
temporary spare tire is installed
because the tire diameter changes.

If repair or replacement of the
steering or other surrounding
equipment is necessary, have it
done at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer. If the center position of the
steering deviates, the DSC may not
operate correctly because there is
a sensor in the steering which

detects driving conditions.

What do you mean by "replacing your rear suspension"? Are you changing the shocks and springs? More info would help a lot, you know.

Oh yeah, I brought my car to some auto shops to check the rear suspension, and they found out the upper and lower control arm is bended, and another shop said that the differential is broken. But I don't know what to do with them, so I think about replace all the rear suspension to the other one from another car, include differential, control arm, DSC, all assemblies parts, ect.

I bought my car in salvage title and it was damaged on the rear, I thought that not really bad but right now I drive it and feel danger. When I turned DSC off, my car turnning ok on the corner, but If I turn on, the rear likes stuck something when the car turn right....

Get the same exact parts for it, then you'll be fine. Have a professional do the job for you. Good luck and let us know the outcome and whatever your decisions may be.
