XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Honda CIVIC TYPE-R FL5 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2023-2026

The FL5 Civic Type R left the factory as the fastest front-wheel-drive car ever round the Nürburgring, and a large part of that came down to Honda’s adaptive damper logic talking to a stiffened K20C1 chassis. Strip that ECU-controlled damping out and the car becomes a blank canvas – which is exactly what the XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the Honda Civic Type R FL5 is built to fill, with the electronic damping cancellation kit included so the dashboard stays quiet.

This is the Super Sport spec, which means 36-way bump and rebound adjustment, height-adjustable spring perches, and a damper valved for fast-road work with weekend track sessions on top. For an FL5 owner who wants to set the car up properly for a B-road run on Sunday morning and a Donington track day on Tuesday evening, the Super Sport is the right tier of the XYZ Racing range.

What this coilover does for your 2023-2026 Honda Civic Type R FL5

Pull the factory adaptive struts and the FL5’s nose calms down under trail-braking – the standard car is good, but it leans on its electronic damping to mask the front axle’s appetite for understeer when the dual-axis front suspension is loaded mid-corner. With 36-way damping you can run the front a click or two firmer than the rear to rotate the car earlier, then back the rebound off for a road-biased setting in under a minute. Ride-height adjustment lets you drop the FL5 enough to tidy up the arch gap without losing the front splitter on speed bumps. The cancellation kit is the part that matters for daily use: no warning lights, no limp-mode, no MOT headache. On a car that is genuinely fast on a damp B-road, the gain is a chassis that responds to setup changes the way the factory hardware refuses to.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport sits in the middle of the XYZ Racing range and is engineered around fast-road driving with regular circuit use layered on top. The damper is built to soak up rough surfaces – broken tarmac, expansion joints, mid-corner ridges – rather than crash through them, which is the failing of most budget coilovers when fitted to a stiff modern hot hatch. Spring perch height adjustment is independent of damper travel, so you can lower the car without giving up stroke and bottoming the damper on compression. The 36-way adjuster covers both bump and rebound through a single knob at the top of each unit, accessible from the engine bay at the front and the boot at the rear. XYZ Racing builds the Super Sport to handle weekend track work alongside daily commuting, which matches the way most FL5s in the UK actually get used.

Fitment for the Honda Civic Type R FL5 (2023-2026)

Fits the FL5 chassis (Honda code HN64-C) built between 2023 and 2026, with the electronic damping cancellation harness included in the box so the factory adaptive system can be unplugged cleanly. No other Type R generation shares this fitment – the FK8, FK2 and earlier cars use entirely different suspension geometry and require their own coilover spec.
