Product Description

H&R Sport Springs give the 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R FK8 a lower, more purposeful stance while keeping the drop even at about 0.8 inch front and rear. The result is less wheel gap, a lower center of gravity, and a more connected feel when the road starts to turn.

This is a good fit for FK8 owners who want to keep the factory-style ride-height range but clean up the stance and tighten the handling. H&R uses a progressive spring design to give the Type R a firmer, more controlled feel without making it feel like a track-only setup on normal roads.

Setting Up Lowering Springs on Your FK8 Type R

Plan on getting an alignment after the springs have settled. A modest drop like this can still change camber and toe, especially if the car sees aggressive driving or wider aftermarket wheels and tires. It's also good to set the final ride height with your wheels and tires installed before deciding whether you need adjustable rear camber arms.
