Not sure if there are differences with the FL5 rear brake process, but this wicked smart dude has a nice write up for the FK8... https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/how-to-change-rear-pads-without-damaging-epb-pt-1-256.50845/

It’s an E11 right?

ohhhh got it that makes sense. If they are in US then they pay tariff at import and absorb a little. I was still thinking direct from Japanese company

I’m not an expert but I’m pretty sure they’re just hosing you for an extra 10% I don’t think the seller collects any tariffs, that happens during the physical import process at the port right?

Full send

+1 for the Advan Apex v601's, love those tires lol

Would you say it has more drone than the AWE Touring? I liked the sounds of the AWE but the drone bothered me. I'm assuming the AWE Touring would have a very similar sound between the FK8 and FL5, but maybe its not fair to compare AWE touring on FK8 to HKS Hi-Power on FL5

interesting. I was planning to order each wheel individually to reduce tariff risk, and when you do that, UPS is an option, and the overall shipping cost ends up being less. When i put all 4 in the cart and go to checkout, you're right, I only see fedex and UPS as options. maybe I would be fine...

so you ordered all the wheels together and they were delivered together, presumably over $2500 worth, and you did not pay any tariffs or duties? who was the shipping company?

Also curious about drone. I had the Spec-L on my FK8 with stock downpipe and thought it was the perfect balance of better than OEM but not annoying to drive on the highway everyday. Looking at the HKS website, the dB reading for this new Hi-Power is much higher than the Spec-L so I am worried...

Did you get hit with any tariffs? What was the invoice price before shipping? I also want to order wheels from black hawk but I am worried about a big invoice from the shipper when they get here. I have seen a wide variety of mixed feedback online

Interesting, I've seen mixed info on reddit. Apparently right after the tariff announcement, DHL was charging crazy fees no matter what, but UPS and FedEx were not. I have seen a lot of posts about people ordering and staying under de minimis $800 and having no duties or tariffs. Sounds like a...

what was the total on the invoice before shipping?

I’m not positive but I think if it’s under $800 you don’t get hit with the tariff

I'm also considering ordering wheels but with the lead time it takes to build and ship, I am worried there might be a crazy tariff on them by the time they reach the states. Did you end up ordering?

are you putting it on with a stock downpipe? curious to know if there is any drone at cruising speeds once you have in installed

Looking to get a set of dedicated winter wheels and cant find much on here about 18x8.5 +45 57NR fitment. Any clue if these will clear the calipers?

Do the 18x9.5 +45 G025'S fit on the FL5? I have only seen people run the 19" wheel

Are these still available?

wouldn't buy anything, just take a drive around Fuji-san
