What did you do to your FL5 today?

Added a few more goodies I had Carbon-fiber-six-element make for me wasn't a fan of the Spoon Plug cover I had on before the Yellow with the red cover wasn't doing it for me so I had them make me a cover just like it but with the Red OEM Kevlar vs the Yellow Kevlar like Spoon makes there's

Top quality work from them as always! :bow:

Some people will give you crap for wanting to soften the ride of a Type R, but it it really does just take some of the edge off and I doubt it even hurts the track performance at all. It’s subtle but helps a lot, especially if you drive on crappy roads like me.

Fuck what people say. A week after getting mine I order coilovers. Felt the car rode like shit and it just wasn't to my liking.

Not at all concerned for any possible negativity. After all, that's what modding cars are all about. We mod our cars to our personal taste and that's what makes each car unique. We're the ones driving our cars and looking at it the most.

Personally I like how Comfort feels with 265/35-19 tires, and I dont like how Sport feels. +R feels stiff but not that bad. I was fully prepared to buy the ITS suspension module - I had the FK8 LE module on my '19 and loved how it rode.

My concern is that I will want the suspension in "sport" or "comfort" all the time and absolutely hate the ride in +R since that would be the now "sport" mode on the suspension.

I suppose I could always buy it and easily sell it if I hated it.

I feel about the same. I find comfort mode to be fine. The only thing I really don’t like about sport and +R is the bounce.

This is crazy to me. After driving the ITS I thought it was way too soft. I bought the FL5 for its stiffness.

Sport bounces all over the place.. +R isnt bad but is too stiff for normal driving with our crap roads. But it isnt bouncy with the tires I have right now. Ill have to see how I feel when I put summers back on.

Nearly 6 full sheets of Dynamat 18”x32” later, the trunk is done! Doors are next. Will have to be next month though. There are a couple of spots near the back seats I didn’t cover. Plan to go back to those after I finish the doors. I’ve got 6 sheets left.

I love the bounce. I keep mine in Sport most of the time. I guess I am one of outliers that enjoys the bit of craziness that comes with the stock suspension module.
