Honda Civic (1996-2000) EK Type 5 Air Struts

The Function and Form Type 5 Honda Civic EK air suspension is designed to offer complete adjustability, improved ride comfort, and enhanced versatility for the 1996-2000 Honda Civic EK. Whether you’re looking for a dynamic stance, an easy way to navigate steep driveways, or a suspension setup that can handle both daily driving and spirited performance, this air suspension system provides a flexible and high-performance solution.

Featuring double bellows air springs with a reinforced girdle hoop, this system ensures durability, reliability, and precise control. The dual-chamber convoluted air springs are engineered to fit into tight spaces while maintaining tolerance for angular differences, providing a smooth and stable ride in various driving conditions.

Designed to be plumbed with 1/4″ or 3/8″ air lines, this system integrates seamlessly with an air management system (purchased separately), allowing drivers to adjust ride height on demand. This makes it possible to raise the car to clear obstacles such as speed bumps and steep driveways or lower it completely when parked for a sleek, aggressive stance.

The Type 5 Honda Civic EK air suspension offers a balance between comfort and performance. While air ride is known for its smooth and cushioned driving experience, the double bellows design ensures stiffness when needed, making this system suitable for spirited driving and even track use. The ability to fine-tune ride height and stiffness allows for greater control, ensuring that handling is not compromised when taking corners or accelerating aggressively.

Some modifications may be needed to prevent rubbing, such as tubular-design upper control arms, which provide additional clearance for the airbag. Proper suspension geometry adjustments can help maximize performance and ensure optimal fitment.

This system is a direct bolt-on suspension upgrade, requiring no major modifications for installation. It is an excellent choice for Honda Civic EK owners looking to combine the benefits of a custom adjustable ride height with reliable handling and everyday usability.

By installing Function and Form Type 5 Honda Civic EK air suspension, you gain the flexibility to drive with confidence in any environment. Whether cruising through the city, attending car shows, or pushing your Civic EK on the track, this system provides the perfect combination of adjustability, performance, and comfort to meet your needs.
