nice video! Never been to VIR but that sounds like way too many cars on track. Sometimes there is just too many people, I get it the orgs need to keep afloat (and I did hear that this year numbers are down from last year a good percentage so prices might go up next year, at least in the north east).
The best session is always the last sessions where a lot of people leave, I usually don't stay for the open track session at the end though, after 4 or 5 30 minute sessions I am usually pretty tired and seems like every last session something always happens.

Good job on the coaching, 2 secs is great.

And yeah the ADS is great, at first I was poo pooing on it because it does not feel much different but now I really like it, R now is totally usable and almost perfect, for daily sport is perfect. I actually don't like comforta anymore, its way too floaty now for me (before it was great so I think sport is now basically comfort), definitely worth the $230 bucks.

I'm going to have to seriously look into it. I've gotten used to the bounce, and it honestly doesn't bother me that much, but after riding in the Integra.....it's kind of a no-brainer.

Hopefully not back ordered still. I waited like 3 months for mine.

I only use comfort in the highway. Around down I’m always in sport and it’s perfect. But given they use ride height sensors along with data on steering angle, and yaw, the dampening curves are very much situational. I’m tempted this weekend at VIR to a few laps on DE5 comfort mode in individual to see how it reacts at speed. I don’t however want to pedal dance but also don’t want VSA on so we will see.

I run my Type R in comfort and it still bounces all over the place. At NCM places where I'd normally use the curbing I had to avoid them to avoid just being bounced way off line. I was hoping the Swift lowering springs were a better pairing for the stiff factory dampers but I don't know that it really matters lol.

If I wasn't going to coils next year anyway I'd probably be looking at the ITS module also.

1a did this to me a few times. I'm on stock suspension and comfort mode most runs it was still interesting getting on the curb there but it worked out fine.

The more expensive ones did. I saw BB RR and SGP. In left and right drive. But they were like $14 so decided not to collect them all ? the CW ones I bought were like $5 or $6

This just popped into my feed..
I wonder how it really performs, as they didnt pair the ad with any track data.

its a cool idea but anyone that wants performance better off spending the money for this on a set of good coil overs (sure they will cost a bit more but will always have better performance) and the ones that don't want performance, the Type S ADS is more than enough to make the ride more comfortable for only $230
