Introducing the 2024 Acura Integra Type S! On Sale in June

Are the spring rates same or greater that OEM? I have seen some alot softer. Spoon shows it 10% greater than OEM so these should sag.

not sure but H&R should be answer. I know they test their springs on the roads and at the Ring before going to production.

some people are disabling them on the Civic forums. I'm pretty confident they'll share the same dampers with a different tune. Possibly different springs but the ride can be tuned by damper control. Doesn't matter anyway, most people will be lowering it anyway.

Savagegeese said they are using the same spring rates but much different damping profiles on the FL5 compared to the FK8. I wonder if the DE5 will end up with the same spring rates as the FL5 and then use the FK8 damping profiles, since people never had problems with comfort on the FK8. They would also be profiles that were proven to perform well on both the track and street.

Any link to where this was mentioned? I'm addicted to FL5 and DE5 content.

It’s in their FL5 video review

Yep they mention it around 11:15.

 

[Understeer]

yeh and people are swapping out the damper module to special edition to make it stiff as fl5

I will need to rewatch this. Can't believe I missed that information.
I'm running FK8 springs upfront now.

Swapping out FK8 damper modules to match the LE? I guess that makes sense, but I imagine the FL5 uses completely new hardware, so I feel like the DE5 will probably get at least some hardware changes like valving.

Could all be the same hardware with ADS being different in programming.

 

[VtecBuddy]

It's possible, but I just can't imagine the same dampers could just be reprogrammed for vastly different damping profiles without some valving changes. At least on the FK8 it seems like they were using the full range of damping adjustment to provide a range from Comfort to R+. There's some info on this here: https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/type-r-technology.12494/.

I apologize if this has been posted already but here is a video of the infotainment and gauge cluster.

Weird that their won’t be an exhaust setting in individual????

 

[Integra23]

Disappointing that we didn't get any of the CTR screens. They just renamed Normal mode as sport mode.

The CTR’s individual mode has a lot more customization than the ITS’ does

Is it just me or 43-45k msrp seems reasonable with that kind of things missing ? Man for every plus the ITS has, theres something missing from the type R… Racing seats, car customization, R-mode gage clauster, front brake heat extractor, log r vs heated seats, better sound system, leatherette rear seats, HUD… Can they just release the MSRP
