  1. Where’s the Aero?

    That Adro kit is probably my favorite looking with all the pieces considered. The rear diffuser and wing look fantastic. I love the front lip, but as others have said it, it will sit really low. I would have to run a different/thinner front lip if I ever went this route.
  2. Interior noises - rattles, creaks, squeaks!

    My car developed a really annoying buzzing on the front passenger side after exhaust + RMM install. I originally couldn't determine if it was coming from the door or B Pillar and it has been getting stronger over time. Sometimes it would happen on the driver side front as well, but rarely. It...
  3. Hatch Rattle, Seat Creaks, Door Rattles and More

    You play music >22? That seems crazy to me, don't think I have been over 12, and that is only with the windows down, haha.
  4. Type-R Wing Leaking?

    Like Cueyo said, I would check all the connection point bolts. I don't know for sure but I would assume there is some type of gasket between the mounting base and the hatch body. Normally this is water tight, either the bolts are loose or the gasket is damaged. I would also check for water...
  5. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I took the plunge with the BNR-2001R BlendMount that the company says won't fit the Type R after seeing someone else say they successfully installed it with the OEM mirror assembly. I have the FitcamX dash cam, so my situation is a bit different. I had to remove the mirror housing halves for...
  6. Interior noises - rattles, creaks, squeaks!

    I have some sound deadening in that piece already. I think I resolved my primary front rattle the other day. I have a fitcam and was modifying it to use a blendmount for my radar detector. I noticed the front part of the fitcam housing had some play in it, so I placed some foam tape up on the...
  7. Stock alignment question.

    Negative camber can cause additional tire wear, but not always. I was finding that with my driving (mostly street but with an autocross every month or two) I was wearing down the outer shoulders of the tires unevenly on the OEM alignment specs. I am at -2.5 degrees of camber in the front and...
  8. 2023 Championship White FL5 - “Candy” aka Bad Panda

    Clean build so far! How is your lip holding up? I think Aerodynamics lip lasted all of 2 weeks before I had to rip it off (granted, my work's parking entrance is brutal on lips with no way to make it better).
  9. Mugen Wind Visors Noise

    Yep, just more confirmation on an increase in wind noise after installation. I got used to it after a bit and don't think about it anymore.
  10. First FL5 oil change mileage?

    I had to put my jack pads at almost the max spread but honestly it makes it easier to set up. I usually have the front pads pushed all the way forward and the rears like two inches from the backstop.
  11. PRL RMM heavy vibration with AC

    I don't have a tune but this thought crossed my mind when the RMM was freshly in my car, as I was getting heavier idle vibrations. Once the RMM broke in some the vibrations at idle mellowed out so this is no longer a priority. I just have the panel rattles or whatever they are at mostly the...
  12. PRL RMM heavy vibration with AC

    Yeah, that is my issue too. It typically only happens with a hot car and at some mid-low to mid-range RPM (I haven't pinpointed it exactly). I checked my exhaust a few times and there isn't anything loose there. I have the Remark Titanium exhaust and it has all flanged connections that are...
  13. PRL RMM heavy vibration with AC

    I induced a rattle in the front passenger side door and also at the hatch after my PRL RMM install. I had a Hasport originally and that was even worse. Neither rattle is constant when the A/C is on, definitely RPM based and not all the time, but very annoying. I re-torqued mine once, may try...
  14. SW388 vs regamaster

    The 18x9.5" Regas also have a +38 offset version (but they are the EVO II Tarmac, so just different lip face compared to the normal EVO II). Good info on the center caps!
  15. Interior noises - rattles, creaks, squeaks!

    I have a bunch of rattles now. I have pretty much always had a center dash rattle. I have tried doing the fix at the infotainment and center dash speaker with felt tape, but with no change. Sometimes this one almost sounds like it is overhead at the mirror but I am pretty sure it is actually...
  16. Lets talk brake pads

    Are your Paragon R3s noisy? I recently put them on the front and they squeal a lot in normal traffic stops. I likely need to re-bed them but wanted to see what another user's experience was. Based on Paragon's info, they are supposed to be in a class similar to the Ferodo DS2500 pads I have...
  17. M&M Front Pillow upper mount for FL5 00202-FL5-M001 fit OEM dampers?

    No problem. The top hats have metal spherical bearings, that is where the extra NHV comes from. In my past experience with similar top hats, the NHV can range from not much at all to a moderate increase. Hard to really gauge since NHV is extremely subjection. On the plus side, top hats like...
  18. M&M Front Pillow upper mount for FL5 00202-FL5-M001 fit OEM dampers?

    Yeah, labor costs are probably somewhat equal. You have more adjustability with the top hats IMO but it comes at the tradeoff of NHV. Pulling the strut pins does give some wiggle room to fine tune the camber a few tenths of a degree in either direction, so the lower mounts aren't at a huge...
  19. M&M Front Pillow upper mount for FL5 00202-FL5-M001 fit OEM dampers?

    I am not entirely sure since I haven't removed the front struts yet on the FL5 but I would say probably slightly easier to install the hardrace lowers. You do have to remove the brake caliper, rotor, and dust shield to give better access to some of the bolts. My guess is that the work needed...
  20. M&M Front Pillow upper mount for FL5 00202-FL5-M001 fit OEM dampers?

    If you are just looking for -2.5 front camber, have you looked at something like the Hardrace lower camber adjusters? I installed them on my car and got exactly -2.5 degrees front camber with the "middle" insert plate and pulling the shock tower pins. Not as fine tunable or as direct feeling as...
