Is the FL5 heavy bumpy on +R mode?

I‘ve look a few FL5 drive's POV on track, the suspension of FL5 is heavy bumpy seemingly.

What do you mean by "heavy pump"?

sorry,I make a mistake,it should be “bump”.

So I assume what you mean by that is it's bumpy in +R mode? If so, then it seems to be the case, but I read somewhere that this is a particularly bumpy track and the car was really being pushed to the limit...

Thank you for your message!

Supposed to be another circuit that's not particularly smooth. It does looks bumpy from the POV, but look at the car in front going through the same bends at the same speed - you can't see the same oscillations - so it might be a case of the camera setup being used is compounding the effect?

I'm just praying that comfort mode is great for day to day driving! My last hot hatch was a MY2017 Focus RS and it pogo'd quite a bit - not so much that it bothered me mind you. I can't remember what an FK2 CTR felt like when I drove one back to back at the time, but I've read the FK8 is really compliant for a hot hatch and I hope the same for the FL5.

Comfort mode is just fine for the daily commute. I have no frame of reference with the FK8, but compared to my 11th gen Si, it's a bit softer, but not by much. Sport ramps it up to just beyond the Si's stock suspension (so fairly firm) and R+ mode is pretty bonkers...but I love it.

Keiichi Tsuchiya mentioned that it was bump in +R if I remember correctly.






I've never been on a race track as a passenger or driver. I don't know if this is normal at these courses or not.

However it seems to be a common theme at this point.

The FK8 is like this too in +R. And the LE ADS module which I have in mine, makes the ride even harder that that. Though I have a high tolerance for rough suspensions (S2000 with CR suspension was my daily until 2021) so it doesn't bother me.

It's interesting that it seems to be an ongoing "issue" which makes me assume it's not. It must not upset handling too much, but looking at the Tedward video it kind of appeared that it did at certain points.
I wonder if it set up with the assumption there will be more downforce.
