XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Honda CIVIC TYPE-R FK8 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2017-2026

The FK8 Civic Type R left the factory with one of the most accomplished front-drive chassis ever sold in the UK – and an adaptive damper system that ties your hands the moment you want to step beyond Comfort, Sport and +R. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover, supplied here with the electronic damping cancellation kit, replaces that closed loop with a fully mechanical setup you can actually tune for British B-roads and a Cadwell trackday in the same weekend.

This is the kit for FK8 owners who want height, rate and damping under their own control without throwing a dash light or upsetting the ECU. The cancellation harness is included so the car reads the new struts as factory hardware, and the 36-way damping range gives you a real spread between motorway compliance and circuit body control.

What this coilover does for your 2017-2026 Honda Civic Type R FK8

The FK8 is heavy over the nose and corners on a dual-axis front strut that already does a lot of the work suppressing torque steer; the Super Sport gives you the ability to load that front axle more deliberately on turn-in without the back of the car going light over mid-corner bumps. Height adjustment lets you drop the nose enough to clean up the wheel arch gap that bothers most FK8 owners while keeping the wishbones inside their useful arc of travel. The 36 clicks of bump and rebound mean you can run a softer, more compliant setup for the daily commute and firm everything up before a session without swapping hardware. Brake stability improves once the OEM adaptive software stops second-guessing your inputs, and trail-braking into a tightening corner feels far more honest. On a fast-road setting the ride is quieter and more settled than the factory damper in Comfort, because you are no longer fighting a system designed to compromise across three preset modes.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road and weekend-circuit damper, built around a monotube body with 36-way combined bump and rebound adjustment on a single knob per corner. It is designed to absorb the kind of rough surface input that British roads throw at a stiffly-sprung car – broken tarmac, expansion joints, sunken drain covers – without giving up the body control you need when the road opens up. Ride height is set independently of preload, so you can lower the car without binding the springs or running out of droop travel. The damper internals are matched to spring rates chosen for the FK8’s kerb weight and front-biased balance, and the cancellation kit shipped with this variant disables the factory adaptive control so the system reads as a fixed strut. The result is a coilover that genuinely works as a dual-purpose part: comfortable enough to live with on the road, with enough adjustment range to be set up properly for a track session.

Fitment for the Honda CIVIC TYPE-R FK8 (2017-2026)

This kit is built specifically for the FK8 chassis Civic Type R, 2017 through 2026, and ships with the electronic damping cancellation harness required to bypass the factory adaptive system. Confirm your model code matches FK8 before ordering – the earlier FK2 and the newer FL5 use different mounting and electronics.
