XYZ Racing Top Sport Coilovers — Honda CIVIC TYPE-R FL5 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2023-2026

The FL5 Civic Type R left the factory with adaptive dampers wired into the chassis ECU, and that’s exactly the system this kit is built to unplug. Swap the standard struts for a mechanically adjustable setup and the car stops trying to second-guess your inputs mid-corner – you set the damping, the car holds it, and the front axle starts behaving the way the rest of the chassis already wants to.

This is the Top Sport spec from XYZ Racing, aimed squarely at owners who use their FL5 on the road during the week and on circuit at the weekend. The cancellation harness in the box prevents the dash from throwing an Adaptive Damper System fault once the OE struts come out, so the install is clean rather than a code-clearing chore every key cycle.

What this coilover does for your 2023-2026 Honda Civic Type R FL5

On the road, the Top Sport runs 30 to 50 percent more damping force than a street-biased coilover and roughly 2 kg/mm more spring rate, which means the FL5 sits flatter through fast direction changes and rides over broken Tarmac without the floaty secondary motion the adaptive setup leaves in softer modes. Turn-in sharpens because the front axle is no longer waiting on an ECU map to commit. On a circuit you get repeatable platform behaviour through a session – the dampers don’t quietly stiffen on you between laps three and ten – and the extra spring rate keeps the nose level under the heavy braking the FL5’s Brembos are happy to dish out. Tyre contact through kerb strikes improves visibly; the chassis settles instead of skipping wide.

About the Top Sport coilover

Top Sport is XYZ Racing’s track-day-and-fast-road tune, developed out of their own race programme rather than ported across from a generic street kit. The spring and damping numbers – that 30 to 50 percent damping uplift over street spec, the 2 kg/mm spring rate increase – are tuned to absorb the impact of uneven Tarmac while suppressing body movement under load, which is what gives the car its planted feel through compressions and kerbs. Construction is built around aggressive driving rather than show-car stance: the valving is set up to soak large single hits without rebounding the body off line, so traction stays with the tyre instead of bouncing back into the spring. XYZ position the Top Sport explicitly for track days and aggressive road driving, which is the right read on what FL5 owners actually do with these cars.

Fitment for the Honda CIVIC TYPE-R FL5 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) (2023-2026)

Chassis code HN64-C, model years 2023 to 2026, covering the current FL5 Type R with factory adaptive dampers. The kit includes the electronic damping cancellation harness required for this variant – without it the OE damper system will log faults once the original struts are removed.
