Ohlins Cancellation Kit for FK8 & FL5 Honda Civic Type R

The Honda Civic Type R FK8 and FL5 both come equipped with a factory adaptive damper system, and when you swap in Öhlins Road & Track coilovers, that system needs somewhere to send its signal. Without a solution in place, the result is a dashboard full of error codes and warning lights. The Öhlins cancellation kit for the FK8 and FL5 handles that cleanly; it plugs into the original suspension controls, deactivates the adaptive damper system electronically, and requires no programming. The rest of the car’s electronics stay completely unaffected.

What It Does and Why You Need It

The Öhlins cancellation kit for the Honda Civic Type R FK8 and FL5 is a required companion when installing Öhlins Road & Track coilovers on any Type R equipped with the factory adaptive damper system (ADS). When the OEM electronic suspension is removed or disabled, the car’s system will flag errors and trigger warning lights on the dash; this kit prevents that from happening. It plugs directly into the original suspension controls, deactivates the semi-active damper system electronically, and requires no further programming once installed.

Seamless Electrical Integration

The kit is engineered to work within the vehicle’s existing electrical architecture without disrupting any other system functions. There are no modules to tune, no coding sessions, and no workarounds. It handles the signal gap left behind by the removed OEM dampers cleanly, so the rest of the car’s electronics continue operating as normal.

Built for the Öhlins Road & Track Series

This cancellation kit is specifically designed for use with the Öhlins Road & Track coilover series. Öhlins offers separate configurations tailored to individual vehicle makes and models, so the FK8 and FL5 version is purpose-built for the Type R’s electrical system rather than a generic adapter solution. All necessary hardware, including brackets, screws, and lock nuts, is included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need the Öhlins cancellation kit for the Honda Civic Type R FK8 and FL5 when installing Road & Track coilovers? Only if your Civic Type R came from the factory with an adaptive damper system (ADS). When the OEM electronic suspension is replaced with a mechanical coilover system, the car will generate error codes and dashboard warning lights. The Öhlins cancellation kit prevents this by deactivating the adaptive damper system electronically.

Does the Öhlins cancellation kit require any programming or coding after installation? No. The kit plugs directly into the original suspension controls on the FK8 and FL5 Civic Type R. No further programming, dealer visits, or software changes are needed after it is installed.

Will the cancellation kit affect any other electrical systems in the car? No. The kit is designed to integrate with the vehicle’s existing electrical architecture without disrupting other system functions. Only the adaptive damper system is deactivated; all other electronics continue to operate normally.

What hardware is included with the cancellation kit? The kit includes all hardware necessary for installation, including brackets, screws, and lock nuts. No additional components need to be sourced separately.

Is this cancellation kit compatible with both the FK8 and FL5 Honda Civic Type R? Yes. This kit covers the FK8 Civic Type R (2017-2021) and the FL5 Civic Type R (2023 and newer). Both generations share the adaptive damper system that requires cancellation when switching to Öhlins Road & Track coilovers.

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.
