Acura OEM DE5 ADS Module | 23+ Civic Type R FL5

This product came as advertised and it was an easy installation when i followed the video that was posted along with the product. Little did i know that this would be my first foray into my mods journey. I am planning of getting the AWE exhaust along with the compatible Catted Downpipe from these guys. I am building towards an R660 turbo setup( to keep the HP and my tires on the safe side of things).

I always felt like the FL5 CTR's suspension was a bit overdamped from the factory. +R mode was always too stiff, but now with this DE5 ADS module installed, the ride is much smoother. I have other suspension mods in place, but overall, I am pleased with the modul. If you have any questions. don't hesitate to contact Humza! He is very knowledgeable and passionate about this platform, and it shows!

The part finally got through US Customs and I installed it in about 30 minutes (very easy as shown in the video). Noticable improvement in Comfort setting, but still plenty sporty. Definitely recommend if it's your daily driver and the roads aren't smooth as glass.

I commute about 130 miles a day, mostly freeway. However it is winter rn so there are pot holes and a LOT of road construction. The Acura mapped ADS makes the comfort setting absolutely perfect for daily driving. 90% of the time I am in Individual mode with all settings to sport except suspension, that is in comfort mode. This is a 10 min install for a much improved ride. +R now feels like it has some compliance vs bouncing all over the place. IMO, best OEM+ mod you can make.

The FL5 damping is awful for country roads. After swapping the ADS unit my wife is much more willing to go on long trips in the car. Previously I would not use R mode now I use it all the time.
