XYZ Racing Top Sport Coilovers — Honda CIVIC TYPE-R FK2 (Modified Rear lntegrated) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2015-2017

The FK2 Civic Type R shipped with a three-mode adaptive damper system wired into the car’s own control unit, which is why this kit needs a cancellation loom before a set of coilovers can do anything on the car. Honda’s factory hardware was tuned around a 310PS front-wheel-drive chassis that already fights torque steer under boost and loads its outside-front corner hard into an apex. XYZ Racing’s Top Sport coilover replaces that electronic system outright.

For a Type R that sees the occasional track day between commutes, that swap matters. You get a full mechanical damper and spring set that doesn’t depend on Honda’s software deciding how firm the front end should be mid-corner, built for exactly the driving this car invites: fast road most of the week, a handful of laps when the calendar allows it.

What this coilover does for your 2015-2017 Honda Civic Type R FK2

With the electronic damping cancelled and the Top Sport kit doing the work instead, the FK2’s front end stops hunting for grip through the initial turn-in phase, since the spring and damper rates are fixed and consistent lap to lap rather than shifting under a control strategy you can’t see. Stiffer damping and spring rates than a standard road setup mean the outside-front corner loads progressively under trail braking instead of diving, which is where the Civic Type R’s torque steer tendencies show up hardest. Ride height is adjustable, so you can bring the FK2’s factory stance down to suit track use without pushing the geometry past what the K20C1’s power delivery can use. On broken UK B-roads the increased damping still soaks up a pothole or an expansion joint rather than transmitting it into the wheel, keeping the front tyres loaded and gripping rather than skipping.

About the Top Sport coilover

XYZ Racing’s Top Sport range steps damping force up by roughly 30 to 50 percent over a street-biased setup, or adds around 2kg/mm to the spring rate depending on the axle, so the car can absorb a rough surface without the body kicking back at the driver. That extra rate is what lets the kit take a big compression event, such as a mid-corner bump or a kerb strike, without the shock body bottoming out or the tyre losing contact with the road, which is the difference between the car staying planted and stepping wide. The settings come from XYZ Racing’s own track-day testing, tuned so the chassis stays stable and predictable rather than sharp but nervous. It’s built for aggressive road driving and repeat track sessions rather than a car that only ever sees a motorway, which is the brief for most FK2 owners running one car for both.

Fitment for the Honda Civic Type R FK2 (2015-2017)

This kit fits the Honda Civic Type R FK2, chassis code HN67-C, across the 2015 to 2017 model years, and is built for the Modified Rr Integrated configuration with the electronic damping cancellation kit included, meaning it replaces the factory adaptive damper wiring rather than running both systems in parallel. Confirm your FK2 uses the factory adaptive damper setup before ordering, since this is the cancellation-kit variant.
