Side Gusset Plate

The Spoon Sports Side Gusset Plate is a specialized body reinforcement component engineered for the Honda Civic FD2 Type-R models. Even with factory-added reinforcement, the FD2 Civic Type R chassis can still be susceptible to flex during spirited driving. This plate directly addresses that by reinforcing the side panel and the critical front door arm attachment point. The result is enhanced chassis rigidity, leading to improved steering responsiveness and a more connected driving feel. Installation of this brace contributes to more accurate suspension movement by stabilizing the vehicle's structure. This product is specifically designed for the Honda Civic FD2 Type-R. Compatibility is listed for model years 2007 through 2011. While some sources indicate it may fit the FD1 Civic, it is primarily intended for Type-R models, and fitment on non-Type-R variants should be confirmed by the end-user. It is compatible with K20A engines across several production date ranges within the FD2 chassis, including 04/2006-09/2006, 09/2006-09/2008, and 09/2008-08/2010.
