For those interested @PointByPatrol posted a vlog on his YouTube channel showing how simple the swap is. Thanks to him after a year of waiting and trying to decide his entertaining? but informative how to gave me the confidence to finally make the switch.
Thanks again Brother !
I followed this and dropped the first screw under the seat lol. Off the seat it went anyways. Im sure I could do this in 5 minutes now super easy. Hardest part was getting the damn panel lined back up properly so it didnt squeak.

I almost dropped it to but got lucky lol.
The panel at first try didn’t go as easy as I thought but once I lined it up right it snapped in no problem and no rattles . I made sure it was in all the way by comparing the fitment to the passenger side ??

I have 2025 FL5, the original ADS module was definitely harsher than the ITS see:

it definitely lost the teeth rattling ride...

found this video a few days ago, the driver really did not like the +R and tried sport which gave him faster lap time. I've never driven on a track, but even on regular roads and freeways, I found +R (with the original module) to be useless because of the harshness and bounciness



"this car is very very bouncy, I guess that's normal, I'm not sure. I'm kinda bouncing all over the place" "the suspension is almost too stiff"

"The car is very, very bouncy. It doesn't really feel normal. It's bad. I am not liking that at all. very unpredictable. very hard to drive."

"Man, this car is violently bouncy, I am not sure that's normal because it is beating the crap out of me"

"It's like dangerously bouncy" "I've never been in a car this violent in my life" "the car is tryna kill me"

"Sports mode, for whatever reason, is much more manageable, and definitely feel a little less bouncy"

"I went almost half a second faster in the Sport mode vs the R mode"
