Hardrace Honda Civic Type R (FL5/FK8) Front Subframe Brace

This front subframe brace stiffens the front end of your Civic Type R. It links key mounting points to reduce flex when the car is under load. The result is steadier handling, sharper steering feel, and more confidence in fast corners.

Made by Hardrace from high strength steel alloy, it is built for durability and consistent performance. It is a direct bolt-on part that uses factory mounting points.

  • Reduces chassis flex for more precise handling
  • Improves steering response and road feel
  • Helps the front end stay stable under cornering and braking
  • High strength steel alloy construction for long service life
  • Direct bolt-on using OEM mounting points
  • Works well alongside uprated springs, dampers, and tyres

Fitment

Designed for Honda Civic Type R FK8 and FL5 platforms. This includes popular UK and EU models. Always confirm fitment using the site’s vehicle lookup, or check the Vehicle Fitment tab for full details.

What to expect

This brace does not add power. It supports your suspension by cutting unwanted flex in the front subframe area. You can expect crisper turn-in and a more planted feel, especially on bumpy roads or during quick direction changes.

Installation notes

Direct replacement style fit. No cutting or welding in typical installs. Use quality tools and torque all fasteners to the manufacturer’s spec. After any work involving subframe fasteners, an alignment check is a sensible step.

In the words of the Vehicle Standards Agency (VCA), type approval provides "confirmation that production and samples of a design will meet specified performance standards".

For emissions components this encompasses noise, emissions and balanced back pressure, which have a strong influence on maintaining engine performance (power), and fuel efficiency. Type approval ensures that an aftermarket component will reach, or exceed the performance standard of the corresponding OE part.

Type-approval then, is a certain guarantee that an end user will receive a product of OE equivalent performance attributes.

Products on the Progressive Parts website that meet this approval will be clearly marked or labelled EC or ECE approved.
