Do you regret any mods?

[evlsmurf]

I regret the subframe rigid collars. I had a really hard time believing that they would actually do anything, but I grabbed a set on Black Friday. I have had them installed for two weeks now and I can confidently say that they did nothing for the feel of the car. I'm sure they will make it easier to get an even alignment side-to-side, but that isn't enough to justify the cost and, more importantly, the time it takes to install them.

Really? A ton of people have done these and reported feeling a noticeable difference. Have you pushed the car hard since installing them?

Did you get the spoon collars?

I have the PRL collars.

All of the positive reviews are what convinced me to give these a try.

I haven't driven all that hard, since the install. I have a track day in a few weeks though. I will come back and ammend my original post if my opinion changes.

I still have yet to install mine...

low rpm range (2-4000) and cruising in 6th the drone is noticeable. i love awe stuff and run their touring systems on all my cars, i also have the same drone on my GR & fk8 type R lol

Yea I mean it’s not horrible. But at some point I’ll regret it enough to maybe consider changing it back to the valves models.

My opinion. The car is cool stock.

But now that i am FBO and tuned, the car drives and sounds wayyyyyy better!!

I've only had the car for 2 months (on the nose today), but unlike my old civic sport, this one doesn't feel like it needs the mods. My civic sport was a car that I was desperately trying to to make into something it wasn't, but the CTR is the complete opposite. I feel like I haven't pushed the car enough, every time I drive it the car tells me it can push more, and every time I do push it, it keeps telling me there's even more. Massively different. Don't think I'll mod for a while (maybe exhaust and tune).

I get where you’re coming from and agree. Having warranty is nice too.

The problem was I rode in a FBO on car and mine just never felt the same after that day. Lol.

My analogy: The stock FL5 is nice like a scoop of vanilla ice cream with some sprinkles.

A full bolt on FL5, however, is like two scoops of vanilla ice cream on top of a warm fresh baked brownie that is also covered with Hershey syrup and a cherry on top.

Both are good desserts, ones just a little sweeter lol

I was going to hold off on any engine mods and just do interior/exterior things until I logged 15k or so miles to really get to understand and push the car(summer tires getting mounted Monday should help), but here I am bought my ticket for the Chicago, Hondata event . Telling myself I won’t use the base maps or get an OTS tune.

on a side note haven’t even messed around with VSA off yet, but I swear I could feel the brake vectoring on an off ramp. Am I making this up or you guys can feel it to

I definitely feel it during hard cornering, feels stronger than in the other 11th gen models.

I think the day I can get 90% mastering the car is the day I'll add power mods. Until then it'll be stuff related to cooling, sound and maintenance. I have a pretty bad habit of falling real far down the rabbit hole with car modding. So bad that I'm holding off on throwing some of chassis bracing into the type R lol
