Thank you! No filter, I think the lighting was just really good inside the convention center, plus I spent entirely too much time wiping it down for my first (and so far only) show.

I color matched the PRP (black badge) so it would match my rear and I took all the Type-s badges off. Get people commenting on it all the time.

These are on my list of things to do, but I’m waiting to see what happens with tariffs, I’ve only seen them shipped from Japan. Good luck!

Temps are starting to drop overnight in Cincinnati, and I was getting antsy to get my new wheels on the car. These are the Sparco FF4 (concave) in 18x9.5 +45, Pirelli P Zero AS+3 265/35 on Eibach pro kit springs. Definitely notice a slightly cushier ride and lower tire noise, but both of those...

I have one of their shift knobs and I’ll agree their customer service is great. I wanted a specific engraving that didn’t look to be available on the site, they emailed me back super fast, figured it out, sent me an invoice, and I had the knob at my door in a matter of days. They’re awesome.

yeah you really need to just look at the fender gap for comparison, it’s a subtle drop for sure. Alignment specs attached.

SBX Performance has a good blog post comparison on most of the popular lowering springs. This is for the FL5, but should be very close to the DE5. Helped me make my decision. https://www.sbxperformance.com/blogs/news/best-lowering-springs-for-the-fl5-civic-type-r-mostly-complete-guide

it’s definitely subtle when compared to a stock car at the same time. Then again, I think it’s the perfect OEM+ look. As much as I like the look of a slammed car scraping the ground, my ITS is a year round daily for me. The pro kit gives enough drop that it closes the fender gap, but I can still...

couple more from this morning. Also dropping a comparison photo (mine is the left one). My buddy who did my springs and alignment has the same exact car (and will also be using the pro kit).

OEM+, Eibach pro kit + Bonoss 15mm spacers

Eibach pro kit with stock wheels/tires on 15mm Bonoss spacers. My winter wheels are 18” +45 so I feel like it was needed to keep everything looking right. I’m loving the stance and I haven’t yet noticed any negative consequences, in fact the steering feels even tighter and more responsive, but...

I felt the same way with my spoiler, love my gloss black V1. I’m on the fence for the Acuity shifter, though…just not sure how much it really improves shifting over stock for a daily driver.

If you’re using spacers with your OEM wheels (which is really the only reason to use spacers, otherwise just get a more appropriate offset AM wheel), you’ll be fine. The OEM wheels have cutouts that allow the factory studs to recess, so no worries there. My winter wheels are +45, so they’ll sit...

Got my 15mm Bonoss spacers installed today in preparation for my Eibach pro kit install next week. I also ceramic coated my calipers while I had the wheels off. Hoping it makes it easier to clean off the brake dust, lol. I can definitely see why people say the spacers make you want to drop the...

If I lived somewhere without cold temps, I’d be on these summer tires year round. Unfortunately, I have the need for an all season based on my climate. I’m excited to see how they perform once I switch them out in the next month or so.

I would recommend watching the tire rack comparison of high performance all season tires. I got the Pirelli P-Zero AS+3 for my “winter” set up on my ITS based on my climate. I get cold weather, but not a huge amount of snow. I valued great wet and dry performance over snow performance, so I went...

Yes, they are the concave FF4’s from tire rack. I don’t have them mounted on the car yet, I probably won’t put them on till closer to October. Huge bonus is that the center bore is apparently 64.1, so it matches up perfectly without hubcentric rings. I measured and then test fit a rear one just...

Got my winter wheel and tire setup delivered today. I’m off Monday, so I plan on applying C5 ceramic coat to the wheels then so they have plenty of time to cure before I install them in a month or so. Specs for anyone interested: Wheels: Sparco FF4, 18x9.5 +45 Tires: Pirelli P-Zero AS Plus 3...

I found the exact same paint chip/gash in my PRP ‘25 ITS when I installed the Artwork V1. It’s small but noticeable on the driver side. I’ll grab some touch up paint soon for it. Annoying, but at least that’s the only damage that I saw from the OE lip.

If I’m not mistaken, most summer compound tires are like that. Something to do with degradation from freezing temps. I’m gonna be safe and put my summer wheel and tire set in the basement instead of the unheated detached garage just for that reason.
