Ride-height figures are approximate manufacturer development data and can vary with vehicle specification, mileage, load and installation.
Use damping adjustment as a tuning tool rather than a substitute for correct ride height, alignment and tire setup. Start from a middle setting and make small, repeatable changes to suit the vehicle and road or track conditions.
Before Ordering
Electronic-damper compatibility is application-specific. Confirm the exact part number and vehicle equipment before ordering; do not assume every trim with electronic damping uses the same RS-R kit. This listing is application-specific to the stated drivetrain/trim (Type R); verify that detail rather than ordering by model year alone. Compatible with the factory Adaptive Damper System (ADS); RS-R states a damper warning canceler is not necessary. The factory rear upper mount is reused.
Manufacturer Warranty
Published RS-R coverage for this application is 1 year / 12,000 miles from the date of purchase, subject to the manufacturer's warranty terms and eligibility requirements.
