Does the FL5 Civic Type R require the Electronic Damping Delete Kit?

Yes. The FL5 Type R came equipped with adaptive dampers as standard, and fitting a non-electronic coilover kit without addressing that system will trigger fault codes and warning lights. The Nitron Electronic Damping Delete Kit is required alongside this kit to prevent those faults and is available separately.

Does this kit include top mounts?

No. The RoadSport kit supplies full coilover assemblies but retains the factory top mounts rather than replacing them. This preserves OEM levels of comfort and noise isolation without adding unnecessary hardware to the installation.

What does 24 clicks of combined adjustment mean?

The RoadSport uses a 2-way combined adjustment, meaning compression and rebound are adjusted together through a single 24-click range rather than independently. It covers a wide range of road and light track use without requiring separate adjustment for each damping direction.

Is the RoadSport suitable for track use as well as daily driving?

Yes. The adjustment range covers both road and light circuit use, and the ultra-low friction components deliver consistent, fade-resistant damping whether the car is on a demanding road or a track day. It's built to handle year-round use without compromise.

Is this kit fully serviceable long term?

Yes. Every RoadSport is hand-built to order and fully serviceable, so replacement parts and rebuild services are available through Nitron's service network well beyond the initial purchase.

Description

Nitron RoadSport Coilover Kit for FL5 Honda Civic Type R

The FL5 Civic Type R is a platform that rewards drivers who want to push it, but the factory suspension was calibrated for a broad range of buyers rather than the owner who wants to get the most out of the K20C1 on a demanding road. The Nitron RoadSport Coilover Kit is developed for owners who want a genuine handling improvement without giving up the ride quality that makes the car enjoyable to drive regularly. It reuses the OEM top mounts to preserve factory levels of comfort and noise isolation, and runs without a remote canister to keep the installation clean and uncomplicated. The kit supplies full coilover assemblies without top mounts, as the factory units are retained. Every unit is hand-built with ultra-low friction components for consistent, fade-resistant damping across a wide and easy to use adjustment range, so the Type R responds more precisely on a challenging road without becoming punishing when the conditions don’t call for it. Ultra high-grade materials and hard-anodized titanium finish parts keep corrosion out and weight down, and each kit is custom built and fully serviceable; built to hold up not just season after season, but through the kind of year-round use that includes harsh winter conditions.

Unique Technology

Nitron builds every shock from precision components that go through a rigorous design and development process well before the unit reaches final assembly. The modular construction gives engineers the flexibility to work through each application properly without cutting corners on how parts are made or how they perform together under real load. Everything is machined to tight tolerances and checked individually by trained technicians; that level of quality control isn’t concentrated at the end of the process, it runs through all of it. New materials, finishes, and processes are put through extensive validation before they’re brought into production, with proprietary Nitron technologies integrated throughout to produce shocks that hold their own against the competition on road and track alike. That discipline in engineering is what the brand has stood on since day one.
- Basic Damper Design:
  1. End Eye / Top Mount
  2. Damper Piston & Shim Stack
  3. Shaft / Rod
  4. Floating / Separator Piston
  5. Suspension Oil
  6. Compressed Nitrogen Gas

Bespoke Engineering

Nitron doesn’t start with a generic damper and reverse engineer a fit for the FL5 Civic Type R. Every application is developed from scratch, with components and damping characteristics built around the specific platform rather than adapted from something in the same ballpark. The geometry, weight distribution, and suspension travel of the Type R are factored into the design from the beginning, not addressed as afterthoughts. That’s the gap between a kit that happens to fit the Civic and one that was actually engineered for it.

That depth of knowledge across both the technical and competitive sides of motorsport shapes every product Nitron develops.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
