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

The FK2 Civic Type R arrived with adaptive dampers wired into the chassis brain, and on a sealed-stage tarmac rally that electronic safety net becomes a liability – the car wants a damper you control, not one that second-guesses you mid-corner. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the FK2 ships with the cancellation kit that takes the factory adaptive system out of the loop, handing the chassis over to a fully mechanical, manually-adjustable damper built from XYZ’s own tarmac rally programme.

This is the spec for the 306bhp turbocharged hatch that earned its reputation at the Nürburgring but spends weekends on closed UK tarmac stages. The HN66-C chassis runs hard, runs hot, and asks more of its front axle than any front-wheel-drive Honda before it. The Tarmac Rally damper is engineered for exactly that brief.

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

The FK2’s front axle does the work of steering, driving, and braking a 306bhp turbocharged engine, and on broken tarmac that’s where the car loses time. The Tarmac Rally damper absorbs the jolt from mid-stage compressions and surface breaks without unloading the contact patch, which is what keeps the front tyres planted when you’re back on the throttle out of a slow third-gear hairpin. Body control improves under the heavy braking the FK2 demands into stage chicanes, and the rear settles instead of skipping over crests where the standard adaptive setup tends to go binary. With the cancellation kit installed, the dash stops fighting you over damper warnings and the car finally responds to driver input alone. Spring and damping settings carry over from XYZ’s own tarmac rally programme, so the starting point is a chassis already tuned for stage work rather than a generic coilover asking you to find a baseline from scratch.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally is XYZ Racing’s purpose-specific damper for sealed-stage rally use, and the settings come straight from XYZ’s own tarmac rally racing programme rather than being adapted from a fast-road or circuit platform. The damper is built to absorb the impact of uneven pavement – the patchwork resurfacing, the manhole covers, the compressions on the apex kerb – without losing wheel control. It suppresses shock body movement when the car crosses bigger bumps and step-changes in surface, which is the moment most road-derived coilovers either pack down or skip. The result is a tyre that stays loaded through the disturbance, building traction where a softer damper would let it spin up and a stiffer damper would let it bounce. The FK2-specific kit includes the cancellation harness that disables the factory adaptive damper system at the ECU end, so the Honda’s electronics stop trying to override mechanical inputs they can no longer measure. Vehicle stability through repeated stage hits is what this damper is built to deliver.

Fitment for the Honda CIVIC TYPE-R FK2 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) (2015-2017)

This kit is specific to the HN66-C chassis Civic Type R FK2, model years 2015 to 2017, and includes the cancellation kit required to disable the FK2’s factory electronic adaptive damping. The cancellation hardware is what makes this fitment distinct from a standard coilover swap on a non-adaptive Honda – it is not optional on this chassis.
