How to choose the setup
Choose the spring package around tire grip, track frequency and the intended ride quality. FRS means Fast Road Specification; TDS means Track Day Specification. These are spring/build choices, not electronic driving modes. The supplier base part number alone does not capture every ordered configuration.
Factory electronic damping
This is a manually adjusted suspension kit. If the car has factory electronically controlled dampers, confirm the appropriate cancellation or conversion hardware with the installer. The listing should not be interpreted as retaining factory electronic damper adjustment.
The supplied Civic Type R application data states that FAL does not fit this kit. The FK8 and FL5 use different suspension part numbers; match the chassis rather than selecting by the Type R badge alone.
Installation and ordering
Provide the model year, chassis, factory suspension equipment and intended use when specifying the order. Have the installer verify the mounts, usable travel, wheel clearance and any required electronic hardware. Confirm lead time for the selected configuration; catalog availability is not a promise of immediate dispatch.

Product FAQs
Do high- and low-speed compression refer to road speed?
No. They refer to damper shaft movement speed. A sharp suspension input can involve high shaft speed even at a low vehicle speed.
How should I approach the first damping adjustments?
Establish a suitable baseline, change one setting at a time and record the result on a repeatable route or session. Keep the tire and vehicle setup consistent while assessing changes.
Can I select a kit just because it is listed for Civic Type R?
Match the FK8 or FL5 generation named in the application, along with the car’s existing damping equipment.
