Ohlins 17-21 Honda Civic Type R (FK8), Rear Replacement Damper

The Ohlins HOS 6T00 rear damper for the 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R (FK8) is built with a 46mm piston and a monotube design. This construction helps manage heat buildup during spirited driving, ensuring consistent damping performance when you need it most. It's designed as a direct replacement for your factory rear damper, aiming to restore and improve the handling characteristics of your Type R.

Ohlins is known for its advanced suspension technology, and this rear damper is no exception. It utilizes a high-pressure gas system to prevent cavitation, which is when air bubbles form in the fluid and reduce the damper's effectiveness. This means you get more reliable damping control, whether you're carving corners on a track day or navigating challenging road conditions. The damper is also rebuildable, allowing for service and tuning down the line to keep your Type R performing at its best.

When installing this rear damper, you'll want to ensure you have the necessary tools to safely remove the old unit and secure the new Ohlins damper. It's a good idea to consult your vehicle's service manual for specific procedures. While this damper is designed to work with your existing suspension setup, consider pairing it with other quality suspension components to achieve a balanced and optimized handling package for your Civic Type R.
