Some nuance is needed here. Most people here complain about poor comfort in R+. I also find it odd, but the reality on performance is you usually want dampers as soft you can get to reduce wheel bounce and maximize road contact. Most tracks aren't super smooth and most feedback I've seen is...
It's the rubber strip in front of it that runs the length of the front bumper. It tells me I'm probably less than an inch from bottoming out on a dip. Not the worst thing, it's replaceable, but I don't want to bottom out on the actual lip, which is more likely on a parking lot exit with a deeper...
Sounds like the DSC is amazingly adaptable to street and track conditions, using G sensor and brake sensor data in real time to adjust damping on the fly. I've heard good things across dive-resistance which helps keep weight on the rear, staying flat in turns, and over rough patches and...
Search the pad thread, and use the search bar for the rest of the pads, rotors, and brake fluids. You will need cooling upgrades before you need rotors.
Yeah I bled and replaced about 24oz after all 4 corners.
I thought about speed bleeders or bleeder bags since it's hard enough to find time to work on the car and harder to get a willing second person after the kids go to sleep 😅
What I've done on most of my cars is the tube in a bottle of...
I LOLd at the compressing the pistons. I swapped my pads this weekend and found the same thing. Took me awhile. Old pads and thumbs worked.
Also a good idea to brakleen the rotor afterwards, and think about the last time you bled/flushed the brake fluid. Monoblock calipers have two bleeders...
A mattress... That's impressive. Honda could do a commercial with that.
In my experience the biggest impact to mpg is ignition cycles and amount of city driving. Highway is really good, so fuel map is light on low load.
Yes OE is fine, slotted looks great though 😭
This forum has probably collectively tried probably every part out there cheap and expensive except for these rotors. Brakes aren't really the best thing to FAFO with, but there's usually someone willing 😂. Oh well I guess OE it is.
You can get a FK8LE spare kit if you're willing to sacrifice some trunk space. Or if your insurance covers a tow, flat bed it home and put the spare on there until you get to a shop. Would not recommend the fix a flat kit that comes with the FL5.
I've been off and on looking at rotors and pads, scanned the pads thread and have an idea of the more popular ones.
Paragon and Girodisc seems to be favorites for 2pc fronts at a bit of a premium, OE can also be found for decent price from dealers if you can find them nearby if you prefer...
