2020 Type-R Parts

[intekjim]

Can anyone confirm that the front and rear lower arms and rear knuckles are actually different? Wondering because Honda never specified they would be updated, just a "revised geometry" blanket statement and new bushings and ball joints.
And with regard to the adaptive dampers, are the actual dampers themselves different? Because the only different part # I see is for the control unit. I was thinking we could just plug in the updated control unit and get the 2020 ride quality without changing the dampers. Car is my daily so it would be nice to upgrade the suspension while actually improving ride quality.

If this really is the case, then worst case scenario these are the part #s we'd need to update the older cars:

Ads Unit (Rewritable) - Honda (39381-TGH-A11)
Arm, L Front (Lower) - Honda (51360-TGH-A11)
Arm, R Front (Lower) - Honda (51350-TGH-A11)
Bracket, L Front Ball Joint Housing (Lower) - Honda (51285-TGH-A10)
Bracket, R Front Ball Joint Housing (Lower) - Honda (51275-TGH-A10)
Bracket, Front Compliance - Honda (51395-TGH-A10)
Arm B, L Rear (Lower) - Honda (52355-TGH-A10)
Arm B, R Rear (Lower) - Honda (52350-TGH-A10)
Knuckle, L Rear - Honda (52215-TGH-A10)
Knuckle, R Rear - Honda (52210-TGH-A10)

Again if anyone can confirm or has anything to add/drop please correct me.

Did you ever get any feedback?

I have a 2019 CTR and temped to buy the 2020 ADS Unit to test.

You might have to be the guinea pig, seems unlikely we'll ever get this info unless someone tests and can confirm this side by side to a 2020+. I wouldn't say your odds are favourable though.

What I'd love is the LE updates.

So does this mean that we can stick in an LE module to get the LE damper settings?

i'd like to know this as well..... Could be a match for people wanting to get the LE wheels for that lighter weight callibration

I want a stiffer ride as well. Could be useful when using stiffer springs as well.

So far there’s only one fb post of someone actually swapping the ADS module. No cel but besides that there’s not further testing

Yeah, we kinda need more proof than some Facebook post.

Is the owner in 1 of the CTR FB groups? What's his name?

Was just about to link this video

For those who dont want to watch, they said the LE software is only available to LE owners. They also said the new software the +R rides too stiff and you are constantly bouncing around/slipping from lack of traction (on track)

Seems like it needs an extremely nice surface and not these low rent tracks/surfaces that most of us will be on, which is unfortunate.
