finally unlocked my ECU and Hondata stage 1 tune with TypeS pop and bang. Car feels much more responsive. And just received my KTuned Billet short shifter. Also a small clip of the RV6-Infinity Design CF inlet & intake plus tune. Don’t mind my son’s excitement lol 🤣.

The KTuned billet shifter looks really good! I'm starting to loose hope that Acuity is going to release theirs any time soon.

I was on the same thought and pulled the trigger on the KTuned billet one. Its aggressive and well thought out design, vs Hybrid racing’s design. And I don’t like the route Acuity took with the FL5 and the add-on parts instead of making a full billet piece.

Do you have a picture of the shifter installed? Does it go all under the OEM cover?

We installed a whole bunch of suspension on our shop FL5. We were running on Eibach Sportline Springs for a bit while we got our suspension package in place.

You can find all the parts on our site which will be link embedded!

We can also have a custom packaged deal with a discount depending on options like the Sakebomb camber plates (we are official dealers for Sakebomb Garage/FPSpec), EDC canceller, helper spring upgrade, custom spring rates etc. PM for more information!

- Ohlins R&T (stock 6k/10k springs) and Ohlins helper springs upgrade
- Sakebomb Camber Plates/Top Hat
- Awaiting our Swift Springs 6" 6k springs to come in then we'll swap out the front springs (fine balance between aesthetics and track functionality; we're good with losing a little bit of compression travel for more lows and we can always raise it up for track days if needed)
- Ohlins EDC Cancellation Kit
- Whiteline Front Lower Camber Ball Joints
- Whiteline Front Sway Bar Endlinks
- Whiteline Rear Lower Toe Arms
- Eibach Rear Upper Control (Camber) Arms

We set the front LBJ to max camber pin setting (-3*), upper strut guide pins were already removed previously on the old set up, and adjusted the upper camber plate to farthest out (no additional camber).

Eyeballed everything with regards to camber/toe/caster and went to our friends shop for the alignment rack. For being eyeballed, I think we did pretty good all things considered :)

Wanted at least -3.5* front and -2.5* rear camber, and this was initial reading.

Overall very happy with how it turned out! Once our Swift Springs come in, we may move the LBJ camber pin to the middle setting (-2*), then adjust from the top camber plate in order to reduce a little bit of the gained track width from camber adjustment from the LBJ as we're planning to run aggressive wheel specs and tire size once our shipment arrives! Also if you're in the North Texas DFW area, we can get all this installed and knocked out for you.
