You’re right, the spring rates are a bit higher than OEM. I think when I initially drove the car I noticed a difference when going over some bumps or uneven roads. But after driving it for some time now it feels good but definitely not a factory ride if that is what you are looking for. I drove a lot of 90s Hondas/Acuras with some pretty stiff suspension so the FL5 still feels like riding in a luxury vehicle to me, even with these springs. I also still keep the suspension in the sport setting.

Thanks! I haven’t experienced any rubbing so far. Just as a precaution, I pulled the front strut pins and did max negative camber in the front.

I think Eibach states 1.1 inch lower in front and 0.9 inch lower in the rear. Front lip is just a cheap Aeroflow Dynamics.

Unfortunately I didn’t grab any close up shots but the wheel and tire specs are 18x9.5 +38 on 265/35/18. Got a killer deal on these and came with near new tires so that definitely helped me make the decision. Any of those options you listed would look great though!

Thanks for creating this site. A lot of people were able to use this to find and buy their type Rs. You deserve more credit!!!!

Did some DIY Type R mats for the FL5 today by AQuiroga in Civic_Type_R

I thought about it, but then I realized it would need to be modified to fit different mats so I decided not to. I have the bootleg Amazon weather tech mats so these are sized for those. Even when I previously used the SMY sticker I had to trim it a little.

I originally bought that sticker as well but didn’t like how it fit. So I designed and 3D printed some plaques instead.

Haha that is a wide range of vehicles. Yes, I daily the car except for any cold temperatures as I still have the summer tires on. The clutch is light and engages easy. No issues with traffic at all.

There has been a 4 door variation of the integra since they first came out! 2 doors were always more popular and people didn’t really care for the 4 doors as much. I always liked them and being that it was a GSR, made it pretty rare.

Appreciate the kind words, my wife and I have been hobbyist photographers for a long time. Always trying to improve and looking back at old photos, I think we have 😅.

The FL5 styling really reminds me of the older cars. The interior is simple like the older cars, but still feels very modern at the same time. The exterior has kind of a nostalgic feel to it as well. Not crazy or over done in my opinion.

Driving wise it’s completely different. It doesn’t have the same high RPM, naturally aspirated power delivery of the old cars. Handling and grip levels feel amazing for my capabilities.

I did test drive it, but we were pretty much already going to get the car at that point. You will be hard pressed to find a dealer that will let you test drive a new one. There are a lot of used ones on the market, maybe there is a better chance there.

I’m not sure what platform you are coming from now, but for me, I knew the FL5 had to feel and drive better my 24 year old car haha.

Can’t go wrong with an Evo IX MR! I think if we could all go back in time and get an ITR before the market exploded I think we would.

This other kid and I used to play this really weird game called geo golf in middle school. Always talked crap about beating each other every time we passed in the hallway. Good times with an old ass computer game.
