A relatively new discovery made by the FK8 community was the compatibility of the Adaptive Damper System (ADS) unit from the Phoenix Yellow 2021 Type R Limited Edition (LE) over to the non-LE years.
What you need to know:
1) All 2017 - 2021 Honda Civic Type R FK8's ever built share the exact same shock part numbers, so no difference there.
2) 2017 - 2019 Honda Civic Type R have the first version of the ADS module. It was considered to be stiff and harsh, and owners of these years especially lowered on stiffer springs such as Swift for example complain of the poor ride quality
3) 2020 - 2021 Honda Civic Type R have version 2 of the ADS module. The ride quality was improved further, but some owners say it's hard to differentiate between all modes as it was previously
4) 2021 Civic Type R LE gets the Version 3, which is the part you are purchasing here on this page. The LE's ADS unit will do the following:
- Unique characteristics in all 3 modes
- Comfort: removal of the bouncing, jiggly feeling. Stiff but not jarring
- Sport: feels as stiff as +R, just the right amount to have fun on the street, and/or a bumpy track surface
- +R: if you felt the standard +R wasn't stiff enough for track and some of the high speed straights felt a little floaty, this is where you'll feel the +R setting now feels like a Porsche GT3 as its simply glued to the surface. If you're on aftermarket springs with stiffer rates, no longer will you feel a mismatch between a soft damper and stiff spring, both will feel equally balanced allowing you to push harder with greater confidence in each corner
Conclusion: if you're not satisfied with how the factory dampers ride and do not want to go the route of lowering your Type R, and/or you'd like further refinement after lowering your Type R, the Type R LE ADS module is for you! This is a 10-minute swap that is reversible, doesn't trigger any error lights, and takes it from really good factory suspension to a great factory suspension setup!
You don't need to go for a Coilover setup costing thousands of dollars and adding complication, the factory dampers will serve 95% of the enthusiasts very well!
