Do I need the RS-R Damper Warning Canceller for FK8 or FL5 coilovers?

You need it with the RS-R Sports-i Club Racer coilovers for the FK8 or FL5, because those kits disable the factory adaptive damper system and RS-R states the canceller is not included. You do not need it with the RS-R Best-i Active kits, which keep the factory dampers working. The Damper Warning Canceller for FK8 and FL5 cars is sold separately.

Does one canceller fit both the FK8 and FL5 Civic Type R?

Yes. RS-R lists DWCH059 for the 2017 and later Civic Type R, chassis codes FK8 and FL5, so the same part serves both generations. Each car needs one canceller alongside its RS-R Club Racer coilover kit, ordered at the same time so both go on together.

Does the canceller work with other suspension cancellation systems?

No. RS-R states that this warning canceller is for active damping control only and does not work with other suspension cancellation systems. It is designed to pair with RS-R coilovers that replace the factory adaptive dampers on the Civic Type R.

What happens if the Club Racer coilovers go on without the canceller?

The factory adaptive damper system is disabled once the Club Racer kit is fitted, and the controller will report the missing dampers as a fault. The RS-R canceller is the part RS-R pairs with the kit to prevent that warning, so the two are best installed together.

When should the canceller be installed?

The canceller is normally fitted at the same time as the coilovers, while the car is already apart for the suspension work. Fitting both in one visit saves labor, and the dash should be checked for a cleared warning before the car leaves the shop.

Description

RS-R Damper Warning Canceller for FK8 / FL5 Honda Civic Type R

RS-R’s Damper Warning Canceller for FK8 and FL5 Honda Civic Type R is the small part that makes a manual-damper coilover livable on a car built around adaptive suspension. When RS-R’s Club Racer kit goes on, the factory adaptive damper system is disabled, and RS-R states plainly that the kit does not include the canceller. This module takes the place of the factory damper signal so the controller stops flagging a fault. It is specific to active damping control, and RS-R does not offer it as a cure for other suspension conversions. If the car is getting Club Racer coilovers, the canceller belongs on the same order.

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.
