Doesn't look like Blitz is bringing anything new other than their name. Maybe the spring rates are different. https://www.evasivemotorsports.com/store/product/fortune-auto-variable-height-lowering-springs-honda-civic-type-r-fl5-2023/ Sure, it's an option. Kind of a worst-of-both-worlds one...

That tracks with some other guidance I've received on the topic. Thanks for the impressions.

Dealer identified lol. It's all good, business is business. But as a consumer, I'm sure you can understand why most people would recoil in horror at this scenario. Leaning on state-specific legislation on whether or not to do the right thing is not a consumer-friendly tactic IMHO. To answer...

315s JESUS. Ok. lol. Forgot you went in with the 315s. So to be competitive it's balls to the wall with 315s. Word. Hahahaha Good to know but I don't think I have the stomach for that... plus I just bought a set of 18x10 +40 CE28Ns + 275/35 RZ and I don't see myself buying new wheels ANY TIME...

Yep, the Falkens were my choice for trying to stick with 19s. Basically I got to choose between them, Nankang CRSv2, or Cup2. They were the first 200TW tires I've ever driven on so felt like night and day vs the PS4S, but I noticed I couldn't keep up with the fastest guys when it was wet or...

Revisiting this. I'm still putzing around trying to shame my local PCA buddies in their 981s. It's turning out ok... I can make some of the Supra and M2 guys look over their shoulders but my "build" is still far from dialed in. Basically intake/exhaust, lower ball joints @ -3.5 degrees, springs...

Supra and M2 may as well be the same. Neither belong in BS and need to be nerfed.

Uh that sounds like a lot. There's other variables I'm considering too though, lap times aren't really factoring in to the equation. I wouldn't expect them to keep pace with yok's or RS's... but if they're well-behaved on the street and not insufferable in the rain they might be worth a look...

Any recent impressions of these? I'm currently waiting for a set of RE-71RZ on backorder and feeling panic set in. I don't think I want to try Vitours, and A052 isn't available in 275s. I'd be getting them in the non-H0 spec though... this is for a set of 18s but still curious as I do have a...

This is the source of truth. Distributors will get the same response. As I've said ten times already. It's like asking the cashier at the grocery store when they expect to get more strawberries in. They might have just heard a conversation in the bathroom that they're unloading inventory now...

Eibach Pro-kit.

"Didn't pay attention to what slop you're sending"... "Getting in your feels"... ok. Totally the type of language someone "just explaining" would say! This is what I get for trying to talk someone through trying to put X5 wheels on their FL5. GLWT.

When did 18s enter the chat? I must have missed that part while you were arguing with people trying to save you from a huge mistake. If you're talking about the wheels I linked that's just what google fed me- you can order 19 x whatever the hell you want, those wheels are made to order. There's...

The thing about "what everyone else has"... there's a reason for that. You can get creative and still stay within the boundaries of reason. Slapping SUV wheels on a car like this, developed specifically with weight in mind as an enthusiast vehicle- just what would you actually be trying to...

FWIW while on the topic of sway bars- but first a disclaimer: DSC is local to me and I took my car there to use as a tuning benchmark for the baseline tune on a lowered suspension you all would get if you ordered a DSC now (although they've probably revised it since, honestly...). In any case...

Honestly, they don't look that good. More... interesting than good. But now that I think about it, they're interesting in the sense that someone wearing a top hat like willy wonka would be interesting. But ultimately, not a look that would people would try to emulate. If you get my drift...

^Actual expert. I have to admit, those wheels look interesting on this car. I would have assumed the offset would be the dealbreaker on a BMW but what do I know. +45 on a 10" wheel theoretically would work on this platform, assuming the brakes clear- which is crucial because the front brakes...

If it helps at all, my tire issues stem almost exclusively from my autocross usage. I've been on my all seasons since November and they look brand new. ~7k miles on them alone.

That's an excellent video. In fact anyone into modding of any sort should smash that subscribe button for MotoIQ.
