To chime in here, I can definitely hear my exhaust better on track now with the Milltek Road+. It's still going to get drowned out when a GT350 drives past, but otherwise it's a clear improvement over stock. On the street, this exhaust is perfect. In Comfort it's barely louder than stock. I...

Great info. I'm going to max out my camber joints and see how much that gets me. Should be at least -4. I might also go back to the 10kg rear spring. FF needs all the help it can get to turn lol.

Oh boy, spicy topic. I just did 2 track days recently (Laguna Seca and Thunderhill West) and have some learnings to share: 1) Understeer. After swapping from 6k/10k springs to 7k/7k (per Ohlins recommendation as I'm helping them develop the FL5/DE5 kit), and keeping alignment, tires, etc the...

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, my coolant temp gauge went from 4 to 5 ticks on track, but only once and early in the day. Later in the day when the ambient temp got just slightly warmer, the gauge stayed rock steady at 4 ticks, which is the normal level. Not sure what was going on. Regardless...

Thanks for the mention. Yep, I recently swapped my 6kg/10kg springs out for 7kg/7kg as suggested by Öhlins, based on their independent track/street testing of various spring rate combinations on their own DE5. The original rates were designed for FK8 Type R, and it seems like the FL5/DE5 doesn't...

Mentioned this in the post - roughly 11 ft long. Same issue I ran into when I went to pick up my car after installing an aftermarket exhaust. At this point I'd rather just sell the stock exhaust since storage is a pain.

Selling my OEM DE5 Type S valved exhaust. Used for around 6200 miles, great condition with no issues. It's a single piece around 11 ft long, so you'll likely need a cargo van or truck to transport. FYI - I believe this fits the FL5 Type R, as long as the tips are modified to a shorter length...

Thanks @optronix! Lowered with 18x9.5 +38 and 265/35R18 V730 I don't think you will rub. I'm lowered on Öhlins (-2.3 front camber before I added ball joints, now at -3.1) and never had rubbing with 18x9.5+45 and I can visually see I have at least another 7mm of clearance to the fender. Rear...

Thanks for the sub! Bit of a spoiler for my upcoming video comparing my car against Gridzilla's FL5: his new suspension (AST Moton Doteki-spec 8k/10k 2-ways) feels super sharp with great damping for track use, but they're much firmer than my Öhlins and a little too harsh on the street in my...

That may have been a slight error on my part. I probably rounded to 4.5.

Thanks for the tag! I'll try to be more active on this forum. And I appreciate the cheerleading LOL. Yeah, this is the 2nd time I've driven an FL5 on that road. The first one had stock dampers and lowering springs. It bounced around in Comfort mode, but I thought maybe that could be attributed...
