I'd be super interested in installing harder steering bushings but I don't know if thats possible on the FL5. Or changing the code on our electric steering to improve steering feel (like how Mazda changed the steering feel between the Miata ND2 and ND3).
I only installed front lower bushings (not RV6 solid bushings) and there was no change in ride quality. Like I said, the only thing I noticed was some added texture to the steering. Like you can better feel the type of surface you're driving on through the steering wheel. No change in...
Like others have said (like @ABPDE5) if you want a rawer suspension/steering feel, you can get some RV6 solid bushings. I put Whiteline Front Lower Control Arm Inner Rear bushings on my car and it added some texture to the steering but it did not change any steering resistance.

What everyone else is saying is true. The sportier the car, the more men will come and talk to you. I always said that my Porsche GT4 was the strongest pen#s magnet in the world. The only time I drew attention from girls were when when girls were out and about and they would holler at me but...
Damn!!! I'm super jealous. Bright IIs look incredible! Please share pictures once you get them on the car!
I ordered the same wheels in September so I haven't heard from ICB yet. Fingers crossed I hear something from him soon. Ordered blue stickers and additional white stickers because I...
I'm not sure about the FL5 but on my DE5, wrapping the rear cargo cover with some felt/velvet type material helped. I don't think it changed the loudness, but it muffled the sounds coming from the trunk area.
