XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Honda CIVIC TYPE-R FL5 (Modified Rear Integrated) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2023-2026

The FL5 Type-R’s factory adaptive dampers are built to flatter a road car, softening up under braking into a corner and firming under load – great for Sunday driving, a compromise the moment you’re chasing stage times on loose or broken tarmac. Fitting a fixed-rate Tarmac Rally set-up strips that variability out and hands control back to spring rate and mechanical damping, which is exactly what a stage car needs when the surface changes from smooth asphalt to gravel-strewn hairpin without warning.

This kit pairs the Tarmac Rally coilover with a cancellation kit for the FL5’s electronic damping, so the car runs on the coilover’s own valving instead of fighting the OEM adaptive system. On a chassis already carrying a rear-biased "modified Rr integrated" mounting arrangement, that matters: rear geometry stays consistent lap to lap rather than shifting with a damper mode the electronics no longer control.

What this coilover does for your 2023-2026 Honda CIVIC TYPE-R FL5 (Modified Rr Integrated) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping)

Cutting the electronic damper signal out of the loop removes the single biggest source of inconsistent behaviour on a modified FL5 – no more mode-switching mid-stage, no adaptive recalibration when the rear subframe has already been altered. In its place you get fixed valving tuned specifically for the impact loads of tarmac rally: sharp compressions off cambers and mid-corner ruts get absorbed rather than transmitted straight into the chassis, and the rebound side keeps the tyre loaded into the next direction change instead of letting it skip. On a front-driven, torque-rich platform like the Type-R, that translates directly into traction out of hairpins, where wheelspin under power costs more time than outright grip mid-corner. Because the setup is built around real rally impact events rather than smooth-circuit loads, the ride stays composed over the kind of surface breaks a track-only coilover would crash through.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally line is built specifically to absorb the impact loading of broken, uneven road surfaces rather than the smooth, consistent grip of a circuit. The valving is set to soak up hard hits – a pothole, a cracked repair patch, a mid-corner ridge – without transmitting that shock straight through the body, which keeps the tyre’s contact patch working instead of skipping across the surface. That shock control is also what keeps the car settled through a sequence of corners taken at speed, where a harsher set-up would have the chassis still recovering from the last impact as the next one arrives. The damping curve itself comes directly from XYZ’s tarmac rally programme, carried over from stage running rather than derived from circuit testing. For the FL5’s electronic-damper platform, this specific kit substitutes that fixed valving for the factory adaptive system entirely, so the coilover – not the ECU – decides how the car reacts to the road.

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

Built for the Honda Civic Type-R FL5, chassis code HN65-C, covering the 2023 to 2026 model years. This kit is specified for cars running the modified rear-integrated mounting configuration and includes the cancellation kit required to disable the factory electronic damping system so the fixed-rate coilover can operate without interference.
