Description
For 2023+ Honda Civic Type R (FL5), the Best-i Active package addresses a common problem with conventional coilovers: loss of factory electronic damper control. RS-R engineers the Active line so the supported OE control system can remain part of the suspension setup.
Why Choose RS-R Best-i Active?
Best-i Active combines RS-R's height-adjustable Best-i architecture with compatibility for supported factory electronic damper-control systems. On the correct application, the goal is to retain the vehicle's factory control strategy while adding aftermarket ride-height and damper tuning capability.

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.
