Product Details

The Swift Spec-R Lowering Springs for the 2017-2022 Honda Civic Type R (FK8) are built for Type R owners who push their FK8 at HPDE events, time attack, and road course competition. These FK8 Civic Type R lowering springs deliver an approximate 1.0" front and 1.0" rear drop with a 6.3 Kg/mm front spring rate, calibrated to work with the Type R's adaptive damper system and independent multi-link rear. Manufactured in Japan from Swift's proprietary H5S.TW high-tensile spring steel, these Type R springs reduce unsprung mass and provide quicker transient response for faster lap times and more predictable limit handling at your favorite circuit.

    Great!

    Loved the amount the car dropped (not too much), feels OEM, easy to install, happy with the springs and the service from Springrates.

    Perfect ride!

    After adding a new set of tires and wheels with a bigger offset to push the wheels out I needed a set of lowering springs to set them off and you had just what I needed. Got the installed and an alignment done and now every time I get in the car it feels like a new car to me. Improved not only the looks and handling, but also the ride. Firm, but not harsh and the electronic damping system on my 2023 Acura TLX Type S still works perfectly. Highly recommend!
