Quick question for anyone with the Bonoss spacers . Are we ok to use the version labeled for the fl5 ?

I do see the two different listings separate for fl5 and de5 but part #'s and specs seem to be the same. I had found them for a bit cheaper but listed for fl5 so I ordered them and had the company reach out before shipping asking what car I had so I told them fl5 so they would ship them. This is what I had ordered , hope they fit the de5 -Should be fine. But they now make it for the de5. Two versions available (one aluminum is stronger I believe).

They ride like stock.Not to hijack your thread but I can't seem to find like a general suspension one....
So are the H&R closest to stock for ride comfort? I am wanting to lower the car just a bit to close the wheel gap but not make the ride any stiffer.
IMO as well as others, the closest you'll get to stock ride comfort but lower height will be these h&r springsNot to hijack your thread but I can't seem to find like a general suspension one....

Everything fit and went on as it should. Ordered fl5 springs as they weren't available for de5. Again it's only bad over rough pavement, and the roads here basically have mini curbs built into them.Never bottom out and I also didn’t cut the bump stop. Rides like stock. Did you get the correct one?
FL5 and De5 Springs are the same so thats not a worry for the H&R's but you are not supposed to cut the bump stops at all and that is most likely your issue . I have no installed mine yet but did a ton of reading on others install and not 1 person cut the bump stops. Here is a proper install video -Everything fit and went on as it should.

I might be complaining about the roads more so than the springs
Curious if anybody else here didn't cut the bumpstops?
That's interesting because most videos I've seen they did remove a rib from the bumpstop. It made sense to me since you're losing travel by lowering the car, and by cutting them you basically regain the travel that was lost.FL5 and De5 Springs are the same so thats not a worry for the H&R's but you are not supposed to cut the bump stops at all and that is most likely your issue .

What do I know , hey are you the tepteggy guy on YouTube by any chance ?That's interesting because most videos I've seen they did remove a rib from the bumpstop. It made sense to me since you're losing travel by lowering the car, and by cutting them you basically regain the travel that was lost.
My roads could just be that bad lol.
Also makes me think about how the adaptive dampers are affected since they sense ride height supposedly.
Nope, haven't seen their videos. Might have to change usernames hahaWhat do I know , hey are you the tepteggy guy on YouTube by any chance ?
