Function and Form HONDA Civic FD2 Type R (07-10) Type 3 Coilovers Kit

The Function & Form Type 3 Coilovers Kit for the Honda Civic FD2 Type R (2007–2010) is a track-focused, full-bodied coilover system purpose-built for FD2 owners who want genuine performance suspension without sacrificing adjustability. Engineered with a monotube shock design, high-strength carbon steel shock bodies, and independently adjustable ride height, this kit is one of the most capable bolt-on suspension upgrades available for the FD2 platform. Whether you're chasing lap times or dialing in the perfect street stance, the F2 Type 3 delivers the precision and build quality the Civic Type R deserves.

Key Features & Benefits

• Track-Focused Full-Bodied Coilover Design: The Type 3 is F2's top-tier coilover line, optimized for drivers who want aggressive performance on track days while retaining real-world usability on the street.
• 24-Step One-Way Adjustable Damping: Fine-tune compression and rebound with 24 distinct damping clicks, giving you the ability to dial in your ride quality from comfortable daily driving to firm track setups without swapping components.
• Independent Ride Height Adjustment Separate From Spring Pre-Load: Unlike budget coilovers that change spring preload when you adjust height, the Type 3 separates these adjustments — so you get a true ride height change without compromising spring behavior or ride quality.
• High-Strength JIS G3445 Carbon Steel Shock Body: The shock body is constructed from JIS G3445-rated carbon steel, a Japanese industrial standard known for structural integrity under repeated stress — important for a car like the FD2 that may see both spirited street and occasional track use.
• Monotube Shocks With Large Fluid Valve Assembly and Oil Chambers: The monotube design separates oil and gas into distinct chambers, reducing heat buildup and maintaining consistent damping characteristics during extended or aggressive driving sessions.
• High-Viscosity Damper Oil for Thermal Stability: The specially formulated high-viscosity fluid is designed to maintain superior damping performance even as operating temperatures rise — critical for track-focused applications where heat cycling degrades lesser fluids.
• Powdercoated Steel Lower Mounts With Tabs for Factory Brake Lines & ABS Sensors: The lower mounts are designed to retain OEM brake line routing and ABS sensor connections, keeping your safety systems intact and simplifying installation.
• Koyo Japan Radial Bearing: Upper mounts use a Koyo radial bearing — a respected Japanese manufacturer — for smooth steering feel and reduced wear over time.
• Aircraft-Grade Aluminum 6061 Front Camber Plates (Applicable McPherson Struts): Camber plate functionality is built into the top hat design on applicable strut configurations, allowing for front camber adjustment without purchasing additional hardware — a significant advantage for alignment-sensitive track builds.
• Customizable Spring Rates: The kit ships with defined spring rates (see Specifications), but the system is designed to accept spring rate customization for those who want to tailor the setup to a specific track or driving style.
• Quick-Install Preload Ready: The kit arrives preload-ready, reducing installation complexity and getting you on the road or track faster.
• 2-Year Limited Warranty: Backed by a 2-year limited product warranty from Function & Form.

Fitment

This coilover kit is specifically designed for the Honda Civic FD2 Type R, model years 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010. The FD2 is the right-hand-drive JDM/Euro-spec Civic Type R — if you are shopping for the North American FA/FG Civic (FWD, 2006–2011), that is a different kit (SKU 38100206). Always verify your chassis code before ordering. If you're unsure which chassis code applies to your car, contact our fitment specialists before purchasing — we're here to help.

What's in the Box

The Function & Form Type 3 kit ships as a complete coilover set. Based on manufacturer information, the kit arrives preload-ready and includes a spanner wrench to facilitate ride height and preload adjustments without the need for additional tools. Front camber plates on applicable McPherson strut positions are included as part of the top hat assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these coilovers fit my 2007–2010 Honda Civic, or only the Type R FD2?

This specific kit (SKU 38100207) is engineered for the Honda Civic FD2 Type R — the JDM/Euro chassis — for model years 2007–2010. The FD2 has a different suspension geometry than the North American FA/FG Civic. If you own a North American Civic (FWD), you'll need a different kit. Contact our team to confirm your chassis before ordering.

What spring rates does this kit use, and can I change them?

The Type 3 kit ships with 8K front and 5.5K rear spring rates. Function & Form designed the system to support customizable spring rates, so if you want to run a different setup for a specific track or driving application, the platform supports it.

How many damping settings does the Type 3 have?

The Type 3 features 24-step one-way adjustable damping. Adjustments are made directly at the damper, and the system is designed so that ride height can be set independently from spring preload — meaning you don't have to compromise one to adjust the other.

Is this a special order item, and how long will it take to ship?

Yes — this kit is a made-to-order product manufactured in Japan. Please allow a minimum of 45 days for production (manufacturer estimate), and up to 16–24 weeks in some cases. If lead time is a concern, contact our team at 813-535-5801 for the most current production timeline before placing your order.
