XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Honda CIVIC TYPE-R FK2 2015-2017

The FK2 Civic Type R landed in 2015 as Honda’s first proper turbocharged Type R and the first to lean on adaptive dampers and a front strut tower brace to keep the 306bhp K20C1 pointing where the driver asked. The factory setup is already aggressive, but the dual-axis front struts and twist-beam rear were tuned for a compromise the FK2 was never going to win on UK B-roads: cabin liveability versus circuit composure. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the Honda Civic Type R FK2 (2015-2017) is built for owners who want to keep the car usable on the commute and still go quicker on a Cadwell or Donington weekend.

Spring rates and damping on the FK2 reward a coilover that can be softened off for broken surfaces and stiffened up when the tyres come up to temperature. Super Sport is XYZ’s answer to that.

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

Drop the FK2 onto the Super Sport and the first thing that disappears is the floaty rebound the OEM dampers fall into over mid-corner bumps. The 36-way damping adjustment runs from a settled fast-road tune through to a tighter response that holds the nose flat on turn-in, which is where the FK2’s front-axle weight transfer matters most. Ride height adjustment lets you close the arch gap without rolling onto the bumpstops, useful on a car that arrived from the factory looking a touch high at the rear. Body control under braking improves enough to make the FK2’s Brembo front setup easier to modulate at the threshold, and the rear axle stops skipping over the kind of cambered exit kerbs you find at Brands Hatch Indy.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport damper is engineered to clear up the harshness the FK2’s stock setup transmits over rough surfaces while still giving the driver a meaningful range of adjustment. Ride height is adjustable independently of spring preload, and the 36-way damping dial covers compression and rebound in a single click sweep – useful when you want to firm up between morning sighting laps and afternoon timed sessions without breaking out tools. Construction is built for daily mileage as well as weekend track work, so the damper internals are specified to take repeated heat cycling without losing consistency. The result is a coilover that adapts to whatever road or circuit surface the FK2 ends up on, rather than one that picks a single use-case and sacrifices the rest.
