What did you do to your FL5 today?

[SpoolinFK8]

This was a fun install for sure, removing the bumper is always a scary feeling of braking a tab or the bumper not aligning back. but great success today. Installed the Mugen F&R Dampers.

Looks mean! Where'd you source the Blitz parts at and how long was shipping?

My bad bro, i thought i replied to you before…. I ordered the following parts through “Black Hawk Japan”
-Mugen chassis dampers
-Seeker transmission bushings
-Blitz, front CF lip,
-Blitz CF fender arches
-Blitz black front bumper vent molding

wait time was roughly 5-6wks. And i had to pay UPS import fees and taxes. So definitely not on the cheap side by any means

you're good! Yeah those tariffs are a MF, lol. Love the build, man!

Honestly, i was skeptical. But I must say Yamaha knows what they’re doing. I barely feel the Wunderladen RMM. Those dampers are definitely doing their job.

Thanks man. I have more parts to install, but slowly and surely we’ll get there. Looking to hit the 600whp club by next year.

let's go! I was going to PPF my mugen front lip while I wait to install it next year, but the installer mentioned doing it while its installed since the PPF can slightly distort the flexibility of the lip for when it comes time to install it. I'm getting my Acuity short shifter kit installed Monday, then have a PRL intake and RMM to do after, lol.

My sentiments, exactly

Hearing feedback like this makes me want to get them. So it had a noticeable impact on reducing vibration and resonance at low rpms from the wunderladen rmm?

Yeah really does!. Takes a lot of the harshness out. I’m sure

yeah my boy told me the same thing. So now that i installed the full Blitz front kit, and now waiting for the PRL charge pipe kit to install the IC and headlight, he’ll PPF the headlight and lip kit for me.

Glad to hear you heard the same thing about PPF. Looking forward to seeing what numbers you put down after the tune!

Had a bit of a late start today, but changed the fronts to the Paragon rotors and Dixcel M pads, and installed the Bonoss 15mm spacers. That fitment with the OEM wheels look so much better now. Will have to do the rears tomorrow.

My car is fully front ppf’d, but i got the headlights, and front lip kit after so the’ll have to be ppf’d. Have to protect your investment especially if planning on keeping the car you know. This is a car i’m not parting ways with.

totally agree. At the price tags of these cars, you have to.

Curious to hear your opinion on the change in driving dynamics once you install all 4 spacers, especially given all of the other mods you’ve done to your car so far.
