XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Honda CIVIC TYPE-R FK2 2015-2017

The FK2 Civic Type-R arrived as Honda’s first turbocharged Type-R, and its 310PS K20C1 drove the front axle through a chassis the factory tuned firm to the point of harshness on a typical British B-road. That trade-off is exactly what the XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover set out to solve on this car.

This kit swaps the FK2’s adaptive struts for a fully height- and damping-adjustable platform, giving Honda Civic Type-R FK2 owners a way to calm the daily commute without giving up the body control the Type-R is built around. Road one day, a track day the next – the Street Advanced is set up to cover both.

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

Put the FK2 on a corner-weighted, height-adjustable platform and the first thing you notice is a flatter, more planted front end under hard cornering – worth having on a 310bhp front-driver that loads its outside-front tyre heavily on turn-in. The 720-way damping range lets you run a softer compression setting for pockmarked UK roads, then wind in more control for a circuit session, all without swapping parts. Lowering the centre of gravity sharpens turn-in and tidies the slightly nose-led stance of the standard car. Because rebound and compression both adjust, you can settle the torsion-beam rear and stop it skipping across mid-corner bumps. Ride height adjustment also lets you set the car around the wheel and tyre package you actually run, rather than living with the factory compromise.

About the Street Advanced coilover

The Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s most popular coilover line, refined over several years by the company’s engineering team and shaped by data gathered from international race outings. It is built specifically for cars that split their life between normal road use and the occasional track day, which matches how most FK2s are actually driven in the UK. The headline feature is 720 individual damping settings, reached through a single adjuster, so one kit can run plush for a motorway cruise or tight for a lap session. The construction is aimed at holding damping consistent under repeated heavy use, which is where a serious coilover earns its keep over a budget set. XYZ pitches it as essential kit for drivers chasing both speed and control, and that breadth of adjustment is what makes the claim stand up across two very different jobs.

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

This kit is built for the FK2-generation Civic Type-R sold from 2015 to 2017 – the Swindon-built, K20C1 turbo model, not the later FK8. It replaces the factory adaptive strut setup front and rear. Confirm your chassis code reads FK2 before ordering.
