To be honest, I haven't really noticed a difference. I am, however, going to the track in 3 weeks, and there are some key areas on the track where the car is incredibly bouncy. I'll be able to report back afterwards.

A few guys I know swear that it feels softer and more compliant, but that it's only most noticeable in comfort mode. Well...I don't use comfort mode. I want to see how it does in +R.
That makes sense since you’re more track oriented with your FL5. I’m looking forward to your thoughts after your track sessions šŸ‘šŸ»
I like R mode when I’m driving spirited on the streets ā€œmost of the streetsā€ unless it’s really rough. Other than that I like it in comfort just cruising. When I first got the car a year ago it was RRRRrrrrrrrrr mode or go home lol.

Did you disconnect the battery ? I’m guessing it’s not necessary and didn’t notice it in your spy footage šŸ˜†
I don't recall disconnecting the battery.

I believe that there is no risk of a short, just unplug the wire harness and plug into the ITS module.

that said, it does not hurt to disconnect the battery.

though once the battery is reconnected, the first few miles are a pain with all the systems re-calibrating/re-initializing and the associated warnings...

Thanks brother I’ll probably take a gamble and not disconnect the battery.
