A few weeks ago I picked up some used H&R FK8 springs locally for $100. I was finally able to set aside some time to install them. I did record the process and plan on uploading it to YouTube as a DIY once I have some time to edit the footage.
Overall the installation...
Hello!
I am selling a complete set of OZ Alleggerita HLTs in a 18x8.5 +40 that came off my FK8 and was also on my FL5. Wheels will come with 245/40/18 Michelin Pilot Super Sports that measure at approximately 5/32nds all around and should be good for a few more thousand miles before needing to...
Hi everyone!
Starting this thread along with a new YT channel (YouTube) to log the journey with my FL5. This is my 3rd CTR, I previously has a 2017 and 2018 FK8. I took delivery of my FL5 on Thursday 5/25/23 at 11PM here in San Diego, CA. Car was purchased from Round Rock Honda for 51,277 +TTL...
Wanted to post my set-up for reference if anyone feels spicy enough to run 10s as well.
Very similar to the FK8s where I think the sweet spots are 18x9.5 +45-+38 and 18x10 +40. I don't think I would go lower than +40 on an 18x10.

Well of course they’re going to try and get as much as they can up front. Obviously the car hasn’t even hit their lot yet so there’s not a lot of pressure to sell. I will say I paid just under 52k +ttl for mine with accessories, including a CF wing. They just sold a CW 2 weeks ago for 52k+ttl...

my selling dealer in Texas informed me that they have 2 more allocations. I believe my salesperson said SGP and CW
Call Round Rock Honda in Texas and ask for Chris Hodges, he was great to deal with and worked hard on getting me the deal I got on my red one. Just note that even though they dont...
Round Rock Honda in Texas. My salesperson was Chris H.
They just got a CW in about 2 weeks for 53k +TTL (No CF Spoiler or shift knob) and my understanding is Chris sold it last Saturday so I'm not sure what the final numbers came out to.
my FL5 is officially in transport to me from my selling dealer so I wanted to post my numbers and give some hope to other prospective buyers still searching for theirs.
Total price before TTL was $51,237
MSRP - $44390
ADM - $0 (They made some back end money on the accessories)
Total...
I had a sales guy from Mossy Honda in Lemon Grove get mad when I turned down his 20k adm.. so mad that he said I would never find a type r below 60k and started sending me links to CarGurus of FK8s/FL5s...maybe I should text him back with a picture of my deal sheet for my incoming FL5 :lol:
Same rate I got with HFS, my credit union came back at 4.94% at 60 months for me but the finance manager said it would drag my delivery time out 3-4 weeks because they would have to make sure everything clears since I am an out of state buyer. I opt'd to take honda's rate for now since I also...
I have a lead on a CW for MSRP +8k over. the 8K includes their exterior protection package(non negotiable), window tint(non negotiable), car cover, cargo tray, seat back protector, shift knob and wheel locks. It's a TX dealer PM for contact info only if you're serious and ok with potentially...
Pulled the trigger.
Final price was $51,2xx +TTL, so for the additional $6300 over MSRP I received window tint all around, all weather mats, cargo tray+organizer, wheel locks, shift knob, and the paint protection film. Essentially making it a 5k adm +1200 in accessories at retail cost. Best deal...
Checking back in with my original post from a page or 2 back.. I was able to get them to down to 51.7 +TTL which puts me at just under 57k otd... then 1000 for transport since I'm buying from an out of state dealer since I live in CA where ADM's are holding firm at 15k on average. I'd be in...
