Honda CIVIC EK SINGLE CAM 1996-2000 — Coilovers

The EK Civic is one of the last Hondas to carry double wishbones at all four corners, and that suspension layout is the whole reason these coilovers wake the car up. On a platform this light, with the SOHC D-series sitting over the nose rather than the heavier B-series VTEC lump, the factory dampers run out of control long before the chassis does. A set of XYZ Racing coilovers for the Honda Civic EK Single CAM 1996-2000 gives you back the body control the geometry was always capable of.

This is the family page for the full XYZ Racing range built for the 1996-2000 EK, so you pick the spec that matches how you actually use the car. Fast-road, circuit, drift and loose-surface rally builds are all covered, each on coilover hardware tuned to a different job.

What these coilovers do for your 1996-2000 Honda Civic EK Single CAM

Drop the ride height and you close the EK’s well-known arch gap while lowering the roll centre, which sharpens turn-in on a car that already changes direction eagerly. Adjustable damping lets you firm up the light front end so the SOHC nose stops floating over crests and mid-corner bumps, while the rear stays settled under lift-off. On a chassis this light the gains are immediate: less dive under braking, flatter cornering, and a far more honest steering feel than tired factory struts can offer. Run it soft for the commute, then wind it stiffer for a track day.

About the coilover range

Every kit on this page is a height-adjustable coilover with independent damping control, so corner balance and rake sit in your hands rather than fixed at the factory. The range spans eight specifications – Street Advanced and Super Sport for fast road, Top Sport, Racing Spec and Circuit Master for harder circuit use, Drift Spec for angle and recovery, and Tarmac Rally and Gravel Rally for sealed and loose stages. Spring rates and valving step up with each tier, so an EK used mainly on the road and one stripped for competition are not asked to share the same setup. Choose the spec that fits your build and your surface.
