Spoon Sports Progressive Spring Kit – Honda Civic Type R FL5

To unlock the full potential of the world’s fastest front-wheel-drive sports car, Spoon Sports rigorously tested the stock Civic Type R (FL5) on circuits, mountain roads, and city streets in Japan. While the factory suspension offered aggressive roll rigidity, on track the roll response initiated with a slight delay, preventing the driver from smoothly tracing the intended cornering line. On the street, the ride was overly harsh. Spoon’s solution was clear, develop progressive springs that improve driving performance at all stages while delivering everyday comfort.

By increasing the spring rate by 10% over stock and lowering the vehicle by approximately 20mm, these progressive springs reduce the center of gravity for improved stability and cornering response. The extended rebound stroke enhances suppleness over uneven surfaces, while the irregular-pitched, barrel-shaped spring design fine-tunes responsiveness.

The result is a suspension setup that allows precise corner entry and high-speed control without sacrificing ride comfort in daily driving. The Spoon Sports Progressive Spring Kit transforms the FL5 into a more balanced, responsive, and enjoyable machine on both street and track.
