XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — Honda CIVIC TYPE-R FN2 (Modified Rear Integrated) 2007-2011

The FN2 Type R’s K20A2 pulls hard to 8,000rpm, but that front-drive layout puts real load through the nose the moment you’re on the power out of a slow corner – torque steer and front-end push that the factory dampers were never set up to control once you’re lapping in anger. XYZ Racing’s Racing Spec coilover exists for exactly that scenario: a car being driven at a pace where body control, not ride comfort, decides the lap time.

This is the range built for time-attack and dedicated circuit days rather than a fast-road compromise. On the FN2 it means a chassis that stays flatter under trail-braking into apex, resists the nose-dive that unsettles the front axle mid-corner, and lets the rear end follow through instead of lagging behind the front’s direction change.

What this coilover does for your 2007-2011 Honda Civic Type-R FN2

Fitted to the HN25-1 chassis, this kit sharpens turn-in response by cutting the body roll that normally masks how much grip the front tyres actually have left. Damping firmness that would feel harsh on the road becomes the tool that keeps the K20A2’s power going down cleanly out of second and third-gear corners, where torque steer is most pronounced. Ride height and camber adjustment let you set the FN2 up for a specific circuit’s kerbs and camber changes rather than a generic factory geometry, and the stiffer front rate reduces the dive under braking that costs front-tyre temperature and consistency across a session.

About the Racing Spec coilover

Racing Spec is XYZ Racing’s competition-derived line, built from damping data pulled directly from WTCC entries rather than road-car testing. The valving philosophy prioritises consistent body control lap after session, which is why the range gets specified onto cars running aggressive factory-style upgrades. For FN2s carrying heavier modifications – bigger brakes, wider rubber, aero – XYZ Racing can also produce a custom-valved shock absorber built around that specific spec sheet and the circuit it’s aimed at, the same approach used for full-on A-class racing builds. Sending over your modification list and intended track lets the factory tune the damper rather than you working around a generic off-the-shelf curve.

Fitment for the Honda Civic Type-R FN2 (2007-2011)

Built for the HN25-1 chassis code across the full 2007-2011 FN2 production run, with the modified rear integration this kit is designed around rather than left as an afterthought. Confirm your registration date falls inside this window before ordering, as Honda made running changes across the FN2’s life that affect rear geometry.
