Sure is. I updated my original post and feel the FL5s comfort mode is a bit softer than the 11th gen Si's stock setup.

Turns out the blocks were indeed on so thank you for pointing that out...had them removed this morning and made a post about it warning others.

No, just the front had them.

Yep and they've been removed.

No shit , right? I'm surprised it wasn't another dealer add-on - carolina squat package - $699:rolleyes:

To any future FL5 owners out there, make sure the dealer removes the suspension transport blocks before taking delivery! I didn't catch it when I took delivery and put about 50 miles on before realizing something was off. Took it back to the dealer and gave them hell about missing the step...

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.

Looking good, my bb forged wheels twin!

Cool I figured. I'd imagine there's some lag time too between customer delivery, the dealer's inventory, and where you're pulling from.

Not sure how often this updates but 6 out of 6 dealers I checked no longer had the FL5 in stock?

Makes sense. I know this was a hotly contested debate back when the 11th gen Si was dyno'd and the consensus was it was crank.

It's not, Hondatas dyno removes the wheels and is bolted up. It's def crank.

Nope, nothing. :mad:

No worries, happy to share any info. #684

Thanks, I thought so too as the next closest dealer wanted 25k over. Some patience and willing to travel probably would have saved some more $$ but the fact that this dealer was a few miles from my house helped as I made at least 4 visits over the course of several days to hammer them as much as...

Hmm I'll have to have that checked out. It's their first FL5 so who knows what they've might have missed but so far the handling feels fine.

The dealer wanted 10k over sticker and I was able to negotiate to down to around 7k which I was fine with as I was looking at other cars (Supra MT) that carried around the same markup or more. Technically their official vehicle markup was 4k but they also marked up the acessories. They also gave...

Hard to say or predict. Most say we are in a market decline but something tells me cars like the FL5 will still be hard to come by and will carry markup for quite some time. It's built in Japan and Honda is still struggling a bit with domestic production. Your in Cali and the ADM is rampant but...

Time will tell but I feel it was worth it. As an 11th gen Si owner, I simply wanted to point out some quick traits I saw in the FL5. Sometimes I read these FL5 forums and can't help but think the Si has become lost in the shuffle. It's had amazing handling and a bose stero for a year now lol...

Yes, fortunately I'm local and bought a few cars from them so that helped.
