- This is one of those mods I've been dreaming about for so long. There is just something so alluring about having a 2 way adjustable suspension. What better company to do just that with than JRZ? The Ohlins were spectacular and I still highly recommend them for anyone looking for a great track/daily drivable setup. The JRZ RS Pro 2 way coupled with the RV6 front compliance mounts and Whiteline rear sway bar end links push this build into hardcore track machine. Comfort is much less of a concern, noise and vibrations are present. Do I care? Not at all. Will I still daily drive this beast? Absolutely. Why? #becauseracecar 😂

Just when I thought your FK8 couldn’t get any better...congrats Mike!
MaskysFK8 ❤️ it never ends! Lol
Gorgeous piece
Your channel definitely will grow. Loving the content.
Always getting the best mods
Nice set up man
Just finished watching all of your content over these past few days and all I can say is mad props to you man. Your videos have helped me come to the conclusion that the CTR is my next car. After selling my 370 a while ago, this Prius life is killing me lol. You set the standard of quality content. Keep up the great work man and I can’t wait to see your next video 👊🏽
Marc Young II That’s a lot of videos! Lol Thank you for the kind words. You’ll love the Type R when you get it. 👍🏽😁🏎💨
Love your channel and your determination to make this car one of a kind and a beast on the track. Keep up the work. Btw, you're the reason I'm building my R right now
Michael ❤️🙏🏽 Thank you. Just going to keep going! More videos coming if this Covid 19 thing ever eases up. Be safe out there
I appreciate your comparison/contrast Michael with the different products.I believe that with any sounds you experience in the cabin it can become “white noise” over time and as you stated each driver has a different tolerance level.Excellent job in distinguishing it.Keep it up!Especially during this challenging time we’re facing👍🤙🤛🔥🔥🔥
KENNETH S BOURQUE thanks brotha! I appreciate you! Stay safe!
Hey Micheal. Great content..Just a couple of suggestions on the JRZ setup. I have the RS pro 3 ways and if you lower the nitrogen pressure to 200 lbs that will help with the smaller bump complance on the freeway without sacrificing the track performace..Also is you can also put a VERY small amount of high pressure grease on the front strut shafts that would take care of the strut stiction..that sometimes sounds like a loose bolt in the front. Can't wait to see your take of the JRZ's on the track...
Hey Micheal.Now that you have the JRZ's on for a few months,.do you have any feedback on those JRZ's on the track?
Really enjoy the honest feedback, as much as I would like to run the track with my FK8, this setup of yours is a little too rich for the streets. Lol
john thor That’s where the Ohlins shine 😁
A great way to start a Sunday morning- Watching another Type R video content by Michael Baxi Media!
Mr. Tuckers 😁
You reallly went all out sir awesome Jrz you should change to the titanium exhaust rampage change the speed of your car and sound sir
Awesome man. Crazy setups. I saw you earlier today in that type r by the CVS lol. Was in my work truck. Honest opinion, until now do you have any regrets on mods that you did? Anything you could have done instead?
Neil Thomsen anything I’ve had second thoughts about I’ve already changed out. Fortunately/unfortunately I’ve done a lot of double mods on things. Lol
Nice! So, having gone through all the amazing suspension modifications, and quality parts used, what percentage of the current performance does the stock suspension offer you? Example: 75%, 85%, 90%, etc. And therefore, is it worth it strictly from a value proposition perspective?
Apollo Andratti value wise the stock suspension with Swift springs. A good rear sway bar and end links and either Whiteline ALK of RV6 Front compliance Mount will get you pretty to this setup with The JRZs. I’d say 85% or better. With Ohlins and everything above you’re closer to 95% there.
At this level it really is diminishing returns but that’s true of any level of modding one you’re far enough down the rabbit hole 😅
Have you looked into the Spoon Sports Rigid Sports Collar and the Stiff Brace?
AF Life yes definitely on the radar
@@GridZilla Enjoy your channel Michael, I have upgrade envy
Obviously this changes how the vehicle performs. I'm just curious about how much of a difference it makes on how you adjust to driving the vehicle. Do you have to learn how to drive your car hard all over again? Or does this make it easier for you to drive your car hard? I find it challenging for myself to adapt with suspension changes after getting acclimated with a particular setup. As always, great video, great content, and very informative.
jaidee1 it will surely take some time to adjust. Took me 2 full track days and some street driving to get fully used to the Ohlins. I’d imagine similar with the JRZs
First!!! No wonder you selling them on FB!!!
Blackvue Dashcam 😁
Not trying to be a hater tho. But, honestly I think that you would’ve been able to get the FK8 TC with all the money you’ve spent on mods. Critics aside, your car looks pretty damn good, specially the front grill. If your financials allow you, keep doing what you’re doing. You’re helping a lot of people.
bori_taino The cost of the TC isn’t in just the mods but also in the setup and support that comes with it. If I spend the same money as what the TC costs then my car would trounce the TC on track but what you don’t get is the support, parts and team help. In fact a lot of the parts on my car can be found on the TC. 🙂
Michael Baxi Media I do totally agree, keeping in mind you have a daily/track car that looks and perform pretty good. Again, I was not trying to be a hater, just giving you my thoughts. For what I’ve seen the TC is around $90k, and it is pretty much a track only. How easy is the front grill install? Did you had to mess with the bumper to make fit?
bori_taino Absolutely... I’m not ready to turn this into a full blown Race car yet. For now I just want to be a daily driven track beast with full interior and baby seat tormenting much more expensive cars on track 🤣. The Js grill ? yes unfortunately like most aftermarket body pieces it took some massaging to fit right.
delrin isnt solid, but def harder than poly. I thought for the price of those there would be a spherical in there.
When you had your onlins on how did you adjust the dampening in the rear? From my understanding you can’t access the top of the shock from the trunk. So would you have to remove the whole shock in order to adjust the dampening?
The adjustment was at the bottom of the shock so just reach in through wheel well
Michael is there any chances we will see two type r down the line because you have add so many mods and then re doing it then
Diego Prado would love to say yes but we’ll see
A little late here, but do the Type R driving modes work on the JRZ and did they work on Ohlins?
No they do not
Hi Michael ! I think it's too much for me. ( You can Say: "Luckily, it's for me! 😄)
You litteraly jump to the ceiling 😄.
"clac", "clonk", "clac".
I remember an old video, you've said something like: " i don't want a hardcore car ..."(specially for you Justin Edwards😄😉).
In real, I admire your passion, i love this car and, as you said "everybody has a different tolerance".
I hope it will be allright for you and your family in those special times.
See you Michael, and, everybody, take care of your self.
Anthony Sola lol ahhh yes those famous last words. I remember when I wanted to keep this build simple. In the words of the great Ron Burgundy “that escalated quickly” 😂 Thank you for following the build brotha. I appreciate you. Be safe!
Just curious, I’m debating between a mishimoto intake or PRL intake for my Type R.. I saw you used to have mishimoto on which do you prefer and why? Did you feel a difference?
Bueno Dingo heat soak. Mishimoto is metal. Tends to heat soak. PRL doesn’t and PRL sounds better too imo
Michael Baxi Media Nice to know thanks! Your contents awesome!
Bueno Dingo Thank you!
Nice video. What spring rate did you have on this JRZ setup?
10k rear, 12k front
@@GridZilla is it better to have higher spring rate at the back than the front? Do you use 10K rear due to having a big rear sway bar?
@@fwddriver7492 sorry it’s opposite… 10k front, 12k rear.
I wanted more rotation
@@GridZilla thanks! I’m looking into a coilover setup and wanted to see what setup our Civic Big Brother is running. 👍🏻 thanks for sharing
@@fwddriver7492 anytime
Did the creaking in the RV6 compliance mounts go away? I'm thinking about switching from my Whiteline mounts, but my personal tolerance for creaks is admittedly low.
David Schleifstein if you don’t like creaking then stick with Whiteline 🙂
@@GridZilla Would you happen to know if you have the original RV6 Compliance Mount design, or the slight re-design? TheShadow from CivicX mentions it in his post here: www.civicx.com/forum/threads/rv6-performance-front-compliance-mount-and-spherical-bushing-install-guide-for-fk8-type-r.43137/#post-785600
I'm wondering if this design tweak improves things.
David Schleifstein that’s just a softer bearing this making it little more quiet. I have the stiffer bearing #becauseracecar 😁
What wheel alignment do you have with Whiteline anti lift?
Henrik Åstmar the Whiteline added a bit of caster so ran a bit less static camber. Think it was -2.5 Front in this video
Sorry may l learn which spring rates you have choose for jrz pros?thank you
10k/12k
Thank you very much sir
How did you find a good shop to work on your car? I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a new wheel/tire set and suspension, but I'm trying to look for a good shop. Do you go to your car dealer? I'm not sure my dealer does these kinds of services.
MARIO SALAZAR I’m lucky to have a lot of great shops around me. Hybridworks, Elite Performance to name a couple. Most of my car was built by Dr Drew. That’s what I call him 😂 if you live in the Bay Area he can work on your car too @JDMDREW
I'm actually originally from the bay area and go up from time to time to visit family. I'm in San Diego now, but I'll be sure to message him if I ever need work done while I'm up there.
MARIO SALAZAR worth it!
what are you doing with your old parts? that stimulus check is on the waaaaaaayyy
Jonathan Henville Ohlins is already sold 😁
Do you still have the whiteline compliance mount and are you selling it and how much
Long gone
How did you find a Honda mechanic willing to install aftermarket parts? The dealership here says hell no to aftermarket installs😩
Jobs aren’t done through the dealership that’s why. No warranty coverage of something happens.
Do you have any mods that allows you to adjust camber in the front/rear
Michael Tran The JRZs come with adjustable plates but before that yes I have Hardrace lower ball joint and rear Eibach camber arms
@@GridZilla Maybe I missed it in your video, but I didn't see the JRZ adjustable plates haha
Michael Tran also in the thumbnail 😂🤣
@@GridZilla Can't believed I missed that hahahahahah
What’s happening with the olins ?
corone2018 selling them. Currently up on Facebook marketplace
Stop saying the word hardcore.. it’s just annoying
Hardcore
