2022 Si upgraded to 2023 Type R -- owner comparison review

[Ministry]

Side note: Are the suspension blocks still installed up front or is that just how the angle makes it seem? The front looks higher than other pictures I've seen.

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.

Is Comfort mode even better now without the blocks?!

If one place forgot it, I'm sure others will too. Maybe they should make your warning post a sticky for others to easily see. I'll be sure to look when mine comes in (200 years from now for the east coast).

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.

The steering wheel and shift bag aren’t an option lol.

Do you get the other rim set stock on the side, when you order the forged set?

OP said the dealer kept the stock wheels

I’d have told them to keep the accessory wheels too.

At least they let him keep the suspension blocks.

You’re supposed to, don’t let the dealership keep them. They are yours when you bought the car and the forged wheels are an accessory.

Dealerships don’t take your original floor mats when you order the all-weather mats so the same principle applies here.

@Ministry , might be worthwhile to escalate to Honda corporate; some dealers on here might be willing to help point you the right way

Yes please don't let the snakes roam free. Go write Google reviews and spend 5 mins to step up if you've been taken advantage.

Unless they specifically wrote in the deal they get to keep the factory items go back to the dealership and argue that they are yours to keep.

Sick just sick….there are certain dealerships ive gone into and i can feel the slime the second i walk through the door. My local is good but most give me that feeling.

Just reading this made me sick. In my mind this is literally theft. They stole something you paid for. Those rims and OEM wing are worth thousands.
