I am relieved to see your very simple modification list to not only hit your pb's, but also keep the car daily friendly!

How did it feel going from FL5 module with stock rear sway bar, to DE5 module with Whiteline 22mm rear sway bar?

I already know the answer but I want to share yours with my local group chat of FL5 and DE5 owners, where I've had to correct misconceptions several times about what a good starting suspension feels like.

What's next on your list?

Appreciate the kind words! To be the honest the car’s balance when stock is amazing. However, I feel the DE5 module works better with the factory spring rates, and gave me a wider operating window. For example, Sebring is extra bumpy so I have to run it in comfort over there with the DE5 module to get the power down efficiently.

In terms of the rear sway bar, the factory one is really good, but I wanted just a little bit more rotation. The bigger sway bar really helped on hairpin turns especially when the front tires start to give out. However, I can tell you under hard braking if you are not smooth on the initial phase the rear end gets very loose! I do not recommend for novice drivers.

Overall I’m extremely happy with the car’s current balance. My next mod is a bucket seat, a harness, and overall more seat time. I want to better myself as a driver and feel safe.
