On the track, this vague response made limit behavior unpredictable, reducing driver confidence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalling the carbon brace improves steering linearity, delivering sharper feedback and a more connected driving experience—both on road and circuit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor enhanced aesthetics and weight savings, we crafted the upper plate from machined aluminum with a hollowed outer perimeter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis marks the first time in the series we’ve designed it exclusively for front installation. As this is an FF (front-engine, front-wheel-drive) vehicle, the front brace alone provides significant benefits. A rear installation would require interior modifications without substantial performance gains, so we omitted it.”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sectionFlex column40-60\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leftBlock\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hks-power.co.jp\/storage\/syshks\/product_db\/SLCIJZcibdWgTIptgPcw0L87pjsFRjGU1vg8ohHf.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExclusive to the Civic Type R, this gunmetal-anodized aluminum upper plate matches the HIPERMAX series for a unified engine bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rightBlock\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hks-power.co.jp\/storage\/syshks\/product_db\/5D9XdxAYSPUy9FN83afBixliVUSBJOGX83DWkifG.gif\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eConfiguration diagram\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hks-power.co.jp\/storage\/syshks\/product_db\/c8Mbe1nNwziIKrnfAC2IIxVzBffRuhv9auuSeDXy.gif\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hks-power.co.jp\/storage\/syshks\/product_db\/qAHBxO9r75pGIAOZhFyacspbjBnXXY8atD69qVCj.gif\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58313800843645,"sku":"83001-AH001","price":1230.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/5767\/7352\/files\/83001-AH001_1.jpg?v=1782301050","url":"https:\/\/www.tegiwa.com\/products\/hks-carbon-front-strut-brace-honda-civic-type-r-fl5-22-25","provider":"Tegiwa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
