XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — Honda CIVIC TOURER FK3 2013-2017

The FK3 Civic Tourer is the estate-bodied outlier of the ninth-generation Civic family – longer wheelbase than the hatch, a rear torsion beam carrying the weight of a 624-litre boot, and a kerb weight that climbs once you start loading it. That rear-end mass is exactly what makes a serious damper choice matter on this chassis: the back axle has more inertia to settle than any other FK-platform Civic, and a generic coilover will let it hang on the bumpstops mid-corner.

The XYZ Racing Racing Spec coilover is the firm’s circuit-and-time-attack damper, and on an FK3 it is the option for owners who have stopped pretending this is a load-lugger and started treating it as a fast estate with a roll cage on the horizon.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2017 Honda Civic Tourer

On the FK3 the Racing Spec damper gives you a planted front axle that stops the nose washing wide on turn-in, and a rear that actually rotates with the throttle instead of skating across mid-corner bumps. Spring and damping rates pulled from XYZ’s WTCC programme mean the platform stays flat under heavy braking into a hairpin, which is where the FK3’s longer wheelbase usually catches owners out. You get cleaner kerb attacks on a circuit, better tyre temperature management across a session, and a brake pedal that stays consistent because the chassis is no longer pitching weight onto the front pads every input. The Tourer’s back end finally feels connected to the front.

About the Racing Spec coilover

The Racing Spec is XYZ Racing’s track-only damper, and the spec sheet reads exactly like that: every setting on it has been pulled directly from participation in race series including the World Touring Car Championship. This is not a road-biased coilover with a stiffer spring fitted – it is a circuit damper from the ground up, built around what works under timed lap conditions rather than what feels acceptable on a Sunday B-road. XYZ Racing will also build genuine custom shocks against a customer’s car spec, so if your FK3 is running aggressive aero, slick tyres or factory-racing-grade upgrades, they will tune valving to the circuits you actually run. Provide the modifications list and the venue list, and the damper is built to suit.

Fitment for the Honda Civic Tourer (2013-2017)

This coilover is specific to the Honda Civic Tourer FK3 estate chassis built between 2013 and 2017. Chassis code FK3 covers the European-market Tourer body only – distinct from the FK1/FK2 hatch variants – so confirm your V5 matches the FK3 designation before ordering.
