Re: Scott's 09 FA5 Refresh.
Here is the only picture I snapped. The Cayman owner is a super nice dude, used to be a local S2000 owner and upgraded. AS vs GS LOL
Tires look a bit used, choppy on the outside edges. They performed as well as I could've expected though. I'm hoping they last all this season!

Re: Scott's 09 FA5 Refresh.
Damn you making me want to mod mine! I have a bone stock 2009 and agree how badly I HATE the 8th gen community.
Thinking of the HFP suspension and an alignment as my first "mod" lol. First and last.

I thought I was the only one, my buddy added me to an FB group
wtf is this ****?!? lol
fake wheels as far as the eye can see, weird *** mods
i dont even know what brand wheels came with my car! UGH
oddly enough the fit community was/is better in terms of mod quality, maybe because there's a jdm fit therefore jdm parts??

Re: Scott's 09 FA5 Refresh.
I joined a FB page and instantly had to leave. It's either fake wheels and fitment questions or daily posts of "why color to paint my stock wheels" or "need coilovers d2 or k-sport has anyone heard of these?" It's like they don't know how to use Google.

Re: Scott's 09 FA5 Refresh.
I was thinking evo 8 wheels too! Gets me an inch extra (ahhh yea) and I could run a 235 without issues. Powdercoat them some factory HFP wheel grey/ gunmetal though. Funny enough I want to use a sport comp2 as well. Had them on my Fit and they are amazing tires. Don't want to go RS3 or anything too crazy for this car.

I wanted the HFP wheels until I realized they are no wider. Stock is 17x7 I think and the HFP wheels are 17x7 and 18x7... What's the benefit in that lol. Just want a little extra room for tires.

Have you thought about getting a Hondata Flashpro? I'm considering it myself.

Ordered some 225/45/17 sport comp2s and picked up some used (20k miles) Mugen suspension because of this thread. I said I'd keep it stock

Re: Scott's 09 FA5 Refresh.
YAAS how much you scoop up that mugen suspension for? I think my plans have changed a bit. After discussion in the autocross forum on reddit I'm gonna go with front camber bolts, an alignment and a bigger RSB. I think I'm gonna go with the CT-Engineering rear sway cause its adjustable.

Re: Scott's 09 FA5 Refresh.
$450, seemed like a decent deal when the only HFP I could find was $720 shipped. I know that kicks me out of g-stock but the CRX build in my signature is my road course/ autocross car.
Next on the list is camber bolts, little better alignment settings, and shopping for a RSB.
