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

What you get here is a single, right front replacement damper from Ohlins, specifically made for the 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R (FK8). This isn't a full coilover kit, but a direct replacement for the factory right front strut. If you're looking to restore or even improve the handling of your FK8, especially if the original damper has seen better days or you're building a track-focused setup, this Ohlins unit is a solid choice. Ohlins is well-known for its performance suspension components, and this damper is built to their high standards.

This damper is designed to work with the factory suspension geometry and mounting points on your FK8, making installation as straightforward as possible, assuming you have the right tools and knowledge for strut replacement. It's built with the attention to detail Ohlins is famous for, aiming to provide improved damping control over the stock unit. This can translate to better road feel, more consistent performance during spirited driving or track use, and a more planted feel through corners. While it's a single damper, it's engineered to integrate seamlessly with the rest of your suspension, ensuring balanced performance.

When replacing a single strut, it's always a good idea to inspect the other suspension components on that corner, like the spring, mounts, and any associated bushings. While this damper is a direct replacement, consider if you want to match its performance with other suspension upgrades down the line. For most DIYers, replacing a strut involves careful handling of the spring and ensuring all fasteners are torqued correctly, so refer to the service manual for your specific vehicle.
