Do the RS-R Club Racer Coilovers for FL5 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 FL5 cars. The RS-R canceller made for the FK8 and FL5 Civic Type R should be ordered with the kit to keep the dash clear.

How much lower will an FL5 Civic Type R sit?

At the RS-R preset the front sits about 20mm to 25mm lower and the rear about 30mm to 35mm lower than stock. RS-R recommends plus 5mm to minus 45mm at the front and minus 20mm to minus 70mm at the rear, so there is room to tune rake for a given circuit.

Will the FL5 drive modes still change the suspension?

No. The Club Racer replaces the factory adaptive dampers with manual RS-R dampers, so the drive modes no longer alter damping and the 36-step adjusters set it instead. Owners who want to keep the drive modes working should choose the RS-R Best-i Active kit for the FL5.

Are these coilovers comfortable on the street?

They are firm by design. RS-R built the Club Racer for circuit use, with stiff springs and pillowball front mounts that bring more road noise into the cabin. The dampers can be softened for road driving, but an FL5 that rarely sees a track will ride better on the Best-i Active kit.

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 rather than replaced. RS-R USA covers the kit for 1 year or 12,000 miles from purchase, and a rebuild is worth planning after a busy track season.

RS-R Sports-i Club Racer Coilovers for FL5 Honda Civic Type R

RS-R’s Sports-i Club Racer Coilovers for FL5 Honda Civic Type R turn the current Type R into a sharper track tool than Honda’s adaptive dampers allow. Springs step up to 10 kg/mm front and 13 kg/mm rear, the front strut tops gain red aluminium pillowball mounts, and each damper offers 36 steps of adjustment. Built and serviced by RS-R in Osaka, it is the kit for an FL5 that does regular circuit days; owners who stay on the road will be happier keeping the factory electronics.

Design and Performance

The Club Racer follows the FL5’s own layout, a coilover strut at the front and a damper with a separate spring on the multi-link rear, using full-length adjustable monotube bodies. Height is set at the lower mount, so stroke never shrinks as the car goes lower, and the stiffer springs cut pitch under braking. The factory rear upper mounts are reused.

Track spring rates of 10 kg/mm front and 13 kg/mm rear
36-step damping adjustment front and rear
Red aluminium pillowball front upper mounts
Full-length adjustable monotube dampers

Club Racer Coilovers for FL5 cars are assembled in-house in Japan and serviceable through RS-R overhaul

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.
