  1. Whiteline Performance lower, rear control arm bushings installed on 2022 Civic Si - impressions / review

    FYI, these work in the FL5. Installed today and really like them. Highly recommended.
  2. Swift vs Eibach Pro-Kit

    Your car is now aching for less wheel offset. Visually, it needs it.
  3. Active Dampers too stiff on FL5. Disabled with Damping Cancellation Kit

    It's *DAMPING* folks, not "dampening."
  4. Any recommended front seat covers for FL5 Type-R ?

    After receiving some Dream seat covers and dealing with Facebook idiots ignorantly commenting on them, here are my thoughts: 1) These are NOT show-level seat covers. If you want seat covers that don't look like seat covers, those exist and these are not those. 2) These QUICKLY install and...
  5. FL5 stock exhaust valve: Fuse pulled/always open - exterior sound clips

    I recommend the PRL RMM for just a little more positive NVH. Combined with the open valve, you'll really enjoy things.
  6. Brake caliper future replacement

    You will wear out pads and rotors, possibly caliper guides...not the calipers themselves. How much brake experience do you have?
  7. Chassis Braces

    I just installed a 27WON strut tower brace. I previously owned a Mk7.5 Golf R and noticed an immediate difference in the strut tower brace - no more creaks when entering/exiting a driveway, improved steering feel/precision. I notice less of a difference with the Type R, which was expected, but...
  8. Chassis Braces

    Chassis braces will not increase NVH. In almost all cases, they reduce it.
  9. Incremental improvements, Hybrid Racing shifter cable bushing and shifter base bushings.

    I just installed the cable end bushings, which I've done for every other transverse-layout manual I've owned. They're a must IMO. I'm looking forward to pairing them with the Hybrid shifter assembly. That should equate to world class shift feel, regardless of price point.
  10. 18x8.5 Enkei TS-V + 255/40 DWS06+

    The car has been driving fantastically in the cold, wet conditions. I'm still very happy with the setup.
  11. PRL adjustable knob, Acuity base bushings and overland design boot installed.

    Yes, I have them. Given the loads the base bushings see, if you can truly feel the aluminum bushings then you've got an incredibly sensitive butt dyno.
  12. PRL adjustable knob, Acuity base bushings and overland design boot installed.

    Base bushings are practically invisible. Cable end bushings are where you'll feel some improvement.
  13. Active Dampers too stiff on FL5. Disabled with Damping Cancellation Kit

    Funny you mention that, as I am on 18" wheels and was pondering this last night. Since moving to 255/40R18 DWS06+'s on Enkei TSV's, I've been very pleased with the ride quality and overall behavior of the car. When on the factory wheels/tires, I had this ITS ADS module toward the top of my list...
  14. Active Dampers too stiff on FL5. Disabled with Damping Cancellation Kit

    Has anyone with an ITS ADS unit decided to revert back to the CTR unit? If so, please message me if you'd like to sell the ITS unit. Hell, I'd even be willing to "rent" one and either ship it back if I decide against it or pay in full if I decide to keep it.
