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

The FK2 Civic Type R was Honda’s first turbocharged Type R and the first to leave the factory with adaptive dampers – a system that flatters the road but caps what a serious track driver can actually do with the chassis. Strip that electronic control out, and the 306bhp K20C1 platform becomes a properly aggressive front-drive weapon that responds to spring rate, damping and ride height the way a Type R should.

The XYZ Racing Racing Spec coilover is the answer for FK2 owners who have committed to circuit work. This kit includes the electronic damping cancellation hardware, so the OEM ECU stops throwing fault codes the moment the original adaptive struts come out. What you’re left with is a pure mechanical setup tuned for one job: lap times.

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

Drop the FK2 onto Racing Spec and the first thing you feel is the body control the factory adaptive dampers were always quietly fighting. Turn-in is sharper, the front axle stays loaded through long corners, and the platform stops pitching under the K20C1’s torque delivery out of slow hairpins. On a car this rigid, the gains are immediate.

The damping is built around circuit use – settings developed through XYZ’s direct involvement in series racing including WTCC – so kerb strikes, repeat compression cycles and the heat of a 20-minute track session don’t soften the response. Ride height adjustment lets you set the front-rear rake to manage the FK2’s natural mid-corner understeer, and stiffer rates keep the front tyres flat under trail braking, where a stock Type R will roll onto its outside shoulder. Cancellation hardware is included in the box – no separate sourcing, no dashboard warnings.

About the Racing Spec coilover

Racing Spec sits at the top of XYZ’s circuit-focused range, with damping curves derived from direct participation in race events rather than spec-sheet theory. The platform is engineered specifically for track use, with internals chosen for repeatable performance through long sessions and high cycle counts.

Because the FK2 is a relatively specialised chassis, XYZ also offer custom-spec shocks for cars running aggressive mods or competing in defined race categories – the kind of build where factory racing vehicles or A-class entries need bespoke valving to suit a known circuit. Owners can supply details of their car’s upgrades and intended venue, and XYZ will build dampers to match. For the majority of FK2 track day and time-attack builds, the standard Racing Spec specification is the starting point, with the cancellation kit ensuring full compatibility with the FK2’s electronic damping ECU.

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

This kit fits the FK2 Civic Type R, chassis code HN66-C, built between 2015 and 2017. The cancellation hardware specifically addresses the FK2’s factory adaptive damping system – it is included in the kit and required for this chassis to run aftermarket coilovers without ECU faults.
