RS-R Upper Pillowball Mounts for FK8/FL5 Civic Type R

RS-R Upper Pillowball Mounts for FK8/FL5 Civic Type R

Unlock every last degree of front-end grip and razor-sharp feedback with the RS-R Upper Pillowball Mounts for FK8/FL5 Civic Type R. Replacing the squishy factory rubber top hats with RS-R’s motorsport-grade spherical bearings bolts the strut directly to the chassis, letting your coilovers do the work while you enjoy instant steering response and predictable weight transfer on corner entry.

Why you’ll feel the difference

• True camber or caster adjustment: simply rotate the plate to suit your setup, gaining up to ±3° camber or +1° caster for track, autocross, or a perfectly dialed street stance.
• Track-bred construction: CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum hats cradle a PTFE-lined Japanese pillowball for silent articulation and long service life.
• No rubber, no delay: solid mounting eliminates flex, translating road surface info straight to the wheel for precise turn-in and mid-corner stability.
• Engineered for RS-R coilovers: a direct swap onto Sport-i, Best-i, or other 62 mm-ID spring kits; untested on OEM struts but dimensionally compatible.
• Vehicle-specific geometry: designed around the FK8 (2017-2021) and FL5 (2023+) Civic Type R towers so nothing binds or contacts the strut tower at full droop.
• Sold as a left/right pair: includes all necessary anodized hardware.

Results you can measure

Expect crisper steering, more even tire wear, and the freedom to fine-tune alignment without resorting to slotted knuckles or aftermarket control arms—perfect for anyone chasing lap times or weekend canyon perfection.
