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

The FK2 Civic Type R left the factory with adaptive dampers wired into a chassis that was already pulling 1g on the right tyres – the problem for anyone going stiffer is that the ECU monitors the OE damper circuit and throws a warning the moment you unplug it. This XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover kit for the 2015-2017 Honda Civic Type R FK2 ships with the cancellation harness that keeps the dash quiet while you swap in proper height-adjustable, 36-way damping-adjustable struts.

The K20C1’s 306bhp and the FK2’s helical LSD reward a front end that stops diving under trail-braking and a rear that stays planted when the dual-axis strut geometry is loaded mid-corner. Super Sport is the fast-road specification in the XYZ range, tuned to soak up British B-road camber changes without going to pieces when you book a Bedford or Cadwell day.

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

Lower the FK2 onto a stiffer, properly damped spring and the nose-heavy front-drive layout stops protesting under load – turn-in sharpens, the steering rack starts reporting what the tyres are doing, and the rear axle stops feeling like an afterthought. The 36-way damping adjustment is the heart of the kit: wind the clicks out for a Sunday drive across the Peaks and the ride stays civil over expansion joints; wind them back in for a track session and body roll collapses out of fast direction changes like the Craner Curves. Ride height is adjustable independently, so you can correct the factory FK2’s front-arch gap without dropping the car onto its bumpstops. The supplied cancellation kit keeps the adaptive-damper warning lamp extinguished, so there is no diagnostic faff after installation.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport damper is XYZ Racing’s fast-road and weekend track specification, built around a 36-way damping adjuster that combines bump and rebound on a single knob – simple to use, repeatable between sessions, and quick to set up from a baseline. It is engineered to take the harshness out of bumps and rough road surfaces, which is the central problem with stiffer coilovers on UK tarmac: most kits stiff enough for track use shake your fillings loose on the way there. The Super Sport damper is intended to cover both ends of that brief, with the height-adjustment range to set proper corner weights and a damper character that does not punish you for daily-driving the car. It is the sensible default for an FK2 owner who wants a coilover that earns its keep on the commute and still performs at a trackday.

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

Specific to the FK2 chassis (Honda code HN66-C) built 2015-2017, the three-door Type R with the adaptive-damper system. This kit includes the cancellation harness required to disable the OE electronic damping circuit so the new coilovers run without a dash warning. Confirm the model year before ordering; the later FK8 uses a different platform and a different kit.
