SPOON SPORTS now offers an L.S.D. KIT for the 10th and 11th generation CIVIC TYPE R (FK8/FL5).
LSD is a must item for front-engine front-wheel drives. The original helical LSD installed in the stock vehicle is designed to accommodate both sports driving and comfort at an acceptable level. We wanted to make it better, especially for performance focused driving.
Our solution is a custom designed mechanical LSD. After numerous testing under various driving stages, we are proud to offer our 1.5 WAY mechanical LSD, ON 50°/OFF 20°cam angle settings with initial torque setting of 5.0〜6.0kg. Our LSD is equipped with a clutch plate to minimize gear chattering, significantly improving daily-driving performance compared to conventional mechanical LSDs. Now, you’re ready to truly experience the cornering performance of your CIVIC TYPE R!
Initial Setting 1.5 WAY Initial Cam Setting ON 50°/OFF 20° Initial Torque 5.0〜6.0kg (Side bearings included)
SPOON SPORTS newly introduces Front Stiff Plates for the 11th generation Civic
Having a good chassis is essential to enjoy sports driving. A good chassis must be rigid but also light. High power engines, good suspensions and high spec tires are only half good if they’re not combined with a good chassis.
The stock chassis of the FL Civic is very well made with high rigidity resulting in its superb handling. However, when you raise the grip level of the tires and increase engine power, you begin to notice some delay in response and a slight decrease in stability.
After numerous testing and analyzing data, we found that reinforcing the connection between the front subframe and the chassis underneath the body, helped to stabilize the car for improved handling.
This Front Stiff Plate was developed for that purpose.
Our stiff plate reinforces the connection as plane, as opposed to points, maximizing the increased in rigidity. Use of high tensile strength steel allowed us to improve stiffness without adding excessive weight.
The chassis reinforcement achieved from the stiff plate will improve the overall handling of the FL Civic.
SPOON SPORTS introduces a new set of Engine and Transmission Mounts for the 11th generation CIVIC Type R (FL5). Stiffening the engine mount to improve throttle response is known to be effective.However, if the engine mount is too stiff, the vibration from the engine can enter the cabin, making your car uncomfortable. After accumulating data from our race car and from our street tests, SPOON SPORTS has successfully developed a set of engine and transmission mounts, improving throttle response without sacrificing comfort. ※ Mount rubber stiffness increased by 25% compared to stock
