XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Honda CIVIC TYPE-R FK2 (Modified Rear lntegrated) 2015-2017

The FK2 Civic Type R’s dual-axis front strut was engineered around one problem: putting 310PS of turbocharged four-cylinder power through the front wheels without the car pulling itself off line. On smooth tarmac that geometry does its job quietly. Point the same chassis at a closed rally stage, with camber changes, mid-corner compressions and surface breaks a circuit never sees, and the standard adaptive dampers run out of range fast.

XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover for the FK2 is built for exactly that environment – sealed-stage events on asphalt where grip is high but the road surface is rarely flat. It replaces the factory strut and damper assembly with a rally-specific valving and spring package designed to keep the tyre loaded through repeated hits, not just a single smooth apex.

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

Fit the Tarmac Rally coilover and the FK2’s front end stops skipping across mid-corner bumps that used to unload the inside tyre and feed torque steer back through the wheel. The damping is calibrated to absorb sharp-edged impacts – kerbs, patched tarmac, stage-crossing ridges – without transmitting the full jolt into the body structure, which keeps the chassis settled instead of pitching after every compression. That control feeds directly into traction: a tyre pressed into the road puts more of the K20C1’s torque down at the exit of the corner instead of scrabbling for grip. Ride height and corner balance are also adjustable, so the FK2 can be set up to counter the nose-down weight transfer that a heavy front-mounted turbo motor creates under trail-braking into a hairpin.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing built the Tarmac Rally range specifically for closed-road and stage rally use on sealed surfaces, where a car has to absorb repeated hard hits without losing composure between corners. The damper is valved to soak up impacts from broken or patched asphalt – the kind of surface irregularity a circuit car rarely deals with – and to stop that impact translating into body shake that unsettles the platform mid-corner. Suppressing that shock through the damper, rather than letting it reach the chassis, is what keeps the tyre’s contact patch loaded and lets the car carry speed over surfaces that would otherwise force a lift. The valving and spring rates in this kit come directly from XYZ’s own tarmac rally programme rather than a generic road-and-track spec, which is why it feels firmer over small inputs and more controlled over the big ones. On the FK2 that translates into a front end that holds its line under power rather than following every camber change, and a rear end that stays planted enough to trust on a stage you’ve only seen in the recce.

Fitment for the Honda Civic Type R FK2 (2015-2017)

This kit is built for the Honda Civic Type R FK2, chassis code HN67, covering the 2015 to 2017 model years with the modified rear-integrated mounting configuration. Confirm your car matches this chassis code and year range before ordering, since Honda revised the Type R’s rear suspension mounting across generations.
