Do the RS-R Club Racer Coilovers for FK8 Civic Type R need a warning canceller?

Yes. RS-R states that the factory adaptive damper system is disabled and that the damper warning canceller does not come with the Club Racer Coilovers for FK8 cars. The RS-R canceller for the FK8 and FL5 Civic Type R should be ordered with the kit so the dash stays free of a suspension warning.

How much lower will an FK8 Civic Type R sit?

At the RS-R preset the front sits about 25mm to 30mm lower and the rear about 35mm to 40mm lower than stock. RS-R recommends a range of plus 5mm to minus 45mm at the front and minus 20mm to minus 65mm at the rear, which leaves room to set rake for the circuit.

Are these coilovers too stiff for daily driving?

They are firm. RS-R sets the Club Racer up for track work, with stiff springs and pillowball front mounts that pass more noise into the cabin. The 36-step adjuster can soften the ride for the drive home, but road-focused owners are better served by the Best-i Active kit.

What is the difference between the Club Racer and the Best-i Active for the FK8?

The Best-i Active keeps the factory adaptive dampers working through RS-R valves, runs softer 8.0 kg/mm and 6.0 kg/mm springs and needs no canceller. The Club Racer replaces the adaptive system with manual dampers, much stiffer springs and pillowball front mounts, and needs the RS-R warning canceller.

Can the dampers be rebuilt after track use?

Yes. RS-R builds the Club Racer in-house in Japan, so the dampers can be overhauled to restore their original damping. RS-R USA covers the kit for 1 year or 12,000 miles from purchase, and regular rebuilds are worth planning on a frequently tracked car.

RS-R Sports-i Club Racer Coilovers for FK8 Honda Civic Type R

RS-R’s Sports-i Club Racer Coilovers for FK8 Honda Civic Type R are the setup for an FK8 that spends real time on track. RS-R raises the spring rates to 10 kg/mm at the front and 13 kg/mm at the rear, adds red aluminium pillowball mounts at the front strut tops and gives every damper 36 steps of adjustment. Each kit is assembled in Osaka and can be overhauled when the dampers have done their laps. For a road-only Civic it is more than needed; for a car that sees regular circuit days, it is the RS-R kit to choose.

Design and Performance

The FK8 keeps a MacPherson front and a multi-link rear with a separate spring, and the Club Racer follows that layout with full-length adjustable monotube bodies, so stroke stays the same however low the car goes. The pillowball fronts take the rubber out of the steering so turn-in is immediate.

36-step damping adjustment front and rear
Red aluminium pillowball front upper mounts

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.
