straight from wiki

"2004 saw this successful CTR updated with many improvements - revised EPS with quicker steering, revised suspension settings, projector headlamps (JDM came equipped with halogens only while the EDM came with an option for HIDs with self-levelling motors), lighter clutch and flywheel assembly etc.; based on Honda literature, this facelifted (FL) model was targeted at addressing customers' and critics' feedback such as understeer on the limit (due to the front MacPherson strut setup), numb steering response and lack of low end torque."

Lighter flywheel is the main thing - should give the FL a more racey feel.

I've heard that some people are using the Spoon 4-2 header bolting on to the stock bottom half.
Are there any other brands that provide something similar?

Hi guys, does anyone know what hid bulb type are fitted from factory and what wattage the ballasts are? From looking around its either d2r or d2s.

D2R for low and high beams - which is what you're after.
D2S is low or high beam only (one of them anyway)
Just bought a Philips pair myself the other week

Where did you get a pair from? I see cheap ones on EBAY which are pretty convincing but not sure how long they will last.
