The 9th-generation Civic Si (FB6 sedan/FG4 coupe) ran 2012-2015, but that range hides a real fitment trap: several popular coilover kits for this chassis are only cut for the 2012-2013 cars and explicitly exclude the facelifted 2014-2015 Si. Check your model year against each listing below before ordering — this is the single most common wrong-part mistake on this car.

The picks, in detail
BC Racing BR Series (FB6/FG4)
BC Racing’s entry-level coilover for this chassis — but the listing is explicitly “2012-2013 Honda Civic Si,” excluding the 2014-2015 facelift Si. Do not buy this for a 14-15 car.
- Mono-tube damper, adjustable ride height
- Sold specifically for 2012-2013 FB6/FG4 Si
- Well-known entry-level brand for this platform
- Does NOT fit 2014-2015 Civic Si — 2012-2013 only
Raceland Classic Coilovers (2012-2013 Si)
Raceland’s budget classic line, sold as a dedicated 2012-2013 9th-gen Civic Si listing — same year cutoff as BC Racing’s BR kit.
- Height-adjustable 1″-3″ below stock
- Camber and independent spring preload adjustment
- Lower price point
- Lifetime warranty on the kit
- 2012-2013 Si only, per Raceland’s own listing
Tein Street Advance Z Coilovers (12-13 Civic Si, FB6/FG4)
A premium step up from the budget kits, sold specifically for the 12-13 Si (FB6/FG4) — the pick if you want a well-established Japanese damper brand and don’t mind the same 2012-2013-only fitment window.
- 16-way damping adjustment
- Sold under the FB6/FG4 Si-specific part number
- Established OEM-adjacent damper brand
- Strong daily-drivability reputation
- Highest price on this list
- 2012-2013 only
maXpeedingrods 24-Way Coilovers (Si 12-13 Only listing)
maXpeedingrods sells two different Civic coilover listings for this generation — a non-Si version and a separate “Si 12-13 Only” version. Buy the Si-specific listing; the standard Civic listing explicitly excludes Si/EX/EX-L trims.
- 24 levels of damping adjustment
- Height adjustment separate from spring preload
- Budget price point
- Adjustable camber plates
- Only the Si-specific listing fits Si — easy to buy the wrong one by mistake
- 12-13 only
FAPO PS+ Coilovers (2012-2015 Civic FG/FB, incl. Si)
One of the two kits on this list that actually covers the full 2012-2015 range, including the facelifted 2014-2015 Si — the pick if your car is a 14 or 15.
- 16-level adjustable damping
- Camber adjustment
- Covers 2012-2015 FG/FB models including Si
- Actually fits 2014-2015 Si, unlike most budget kits
- Flexible damping range
- Less established brand than BC Racing or Tein
LLP Coilover Kits (2012-2015 9th Gen Civic Si)
The other full-range option — sold explicitly for 2012-2015 Si, with monotube shocks and 32-level adjustment.
- 32-level monotube damper adjustment
- 12k-24k spring rate options
- At least 3″ of threaded ride-height adjustment
- Covers 2012-2015 Si
- Fits the full 2012-2015 Si range
- Wide spring-rate choice
- Smaller/less mainstream brand — verify current stock before ordering
Buying tips
- Check your build date/VIN against 2012-2013 vs. 2014-2015 before buying — BC Racing BR, Raceland Classic, Tein Street Advance Z, and the Si-specific maXpeedingrods kit all stop at 2013; only FAPO PS+ and LLP explicitly cover 2014-2015.
- maXpeedingrods in particular sells a separate non-Si Civic listing that excludes Si/EX/EX-L — make sure you’re on the Si-specific product page, not the base Civic one.
- FB6 is the 4-door Si sedan chassis code and FG4 the 2-door Si coupe — most listings above cover both body styles under the same kit, but double-check the specific listing if you have the coupe.
