The SPOON Front Stabilizer Set is a performance-oriented front anti-roll bar developed specifically for the FL5 Civic Type R.
It is designed to reduce body roll, sharpen steering response, and improve cornering stability while maintaining good road manners for street use.
Key Features
- 30mm hollow stabilizer bar (OEM FL5 front bar is approximately 29.2mm hollow)
- 2-way adjustable stiffness
- Outer hole: 130% of OEM stiffness
- Inner hole: 136% of OEM stiffness
- Includes dedicated polyurethane bushings
- Suitable for both street and circuit driving
- Improves:
- Turn-in response
- Cornering grip consistency
- High-speed stability
- Steering precision
Compatibility
- Honda Civic Type R FL5
- Engine: K20C1 Turbo
- Chassis code: FL5
Important Installation Note
If your FL5 is lowered more than 40mm, or if you plan to use the 136% stiffness setting, SPOON recommends the separately sold 51302-FL5-000 Adjustable Stabilizer Link to maintain proper suspension geometry and prevent preload issues.
The Verdict
For an FL5 owner looking for better handling without sacrificing daily drivability, this is one of the most balanced sway bar upgrades available.
Unlike extremely stiff aftermarket bars that can make the front end nervous on rough roads, SPOON’s tuning philosophy focuses on maintaining Honda-like refinement while increasing cornering capability.
Best paired with:
- SPOON Rear Stabilizer Set (52300-FL5-000)
- SPOON Adjustable Stabilizer Links
- SPOON Progressive Springs or quality coilovers
- Performance alignment setup
Handling Gain: 8.5/10
Daily Comfort Impact: Minimal
Track Suitability: Excellent
Value for Money: 8/10
