Honda Civic XI with coilover suspension

The Honda Civic XI, on the market since 2021, combines sporty design with modern technology. The eleventh generation of the popular compact car impresses with an efficient range of engines, precise handling and an aerodynamic body. The suspension of the Civic XI in particular is already dynamically tuned from the factory - but with a height-adjustable sports suspension, you can realise the full potential of your vehicle. A coilover suspension allows you to customise the vehicle height, which not only improves the look but also ensures more direct handling. Compared to a classic sports suspension, which offers a fixed lowering, you can flexibly adjust how low you want your Civic XI to be. This has advantages in terms of handling, especially when cornering and changing lanes quickly. While a sports suspension often focuses on a moderate lowering, a coilover suspension allows you to get the maximum out of your vehicle - according to your personal preferences.

Honda Civic XI hatchback (FE, FL) Type R with KW coilover suspension V3

The Honda Civic XI Type R (FL5) is one of the most powerful vehicles in its class and impresses with 329 hp (242 kW) and 420 Nm of torque from a 2.0-litre VTEC turbo engine. Thanks to its improved aerodynamics package, stiffer body and enhanced chassis, the current Type R sets new standards in the sporty compact car segment. But if you want to further optimise the performance and tune the vehicle according to your own ideas, there is no way around the KW coilover suspension V3. KW coilover suspension V3 - technology from motorsport for the road The KW coilover suspension V3 is not just a classic sports suspension, but a real high-performance solution with technologies that come directly from motorsport. The inox-line stainless steel technology ensures long durability and high corrosion resistance, while the dual-adjustable damper technology allows individual adjustment to the driving style. A central feature of the KW V3 is the separate adjustment options for rebound and compression damping. While the rebound stage has a significant influence on body control and steering behaviour, the compression stage regulates the compression of the wheels and thus optimises traction. Thanks to this technology, the suspension can be set both for more comfortable driving on poor roads and for maximum performance with a sporty driving style. By lowering the front and rear axles by 10-30 mm, you can lower the centre of gravity of the Civic Type R even further. This reduces body roll in fast bends and ensures an even more direct steering feel. Thanks to the progressive suspension springs and the performance-optimised damping, the KW V3 suspension offers incomparably stable and precise handling - perfect for all those who want to customise their Type R even further
