HRC Parts Are Officially Coming for the Honda Civic Type R, Acura Integra Type S, and More
October 22, 2026
Honda has been teasing us with an HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) performance parts division for a couple of years—and as of Thursday, we have word that it’s finally here.
HRC is using the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas as a launching pad for the initiative, as it’s planning on showing off a few ready-to-buy parts in addition to prototypes of future parts. Just as you might suspect, the current Honda Civic Type R and Acura Integra Type S are the stars of the show, and will be the two cars where most of these parts can be installed.
Initially, HRC will be offering a new forged aluminum wheel made in partnership with 2elle-engineering for the Type R and Type S. (This Italian wheel-maker supplies the wheels for the Acura ARX-06 race car, so it only makes sense to extend the partnership to the road.) A 19-inch wheel in either gray or bronze will be offered: it’s 0.5 inch wider than the factory wheel, and drops 5.5 pounds per corner; the offset is 55mm versus 60mm from factory. Honda says it tested the wheel on the Nürburgring, noting its reduction in unsprung weight, wider width, and increased negative offset all help improve handling. Not to mention, the offset should naturally improve the car’s stance. Unfortunately, we don’t have a price yet.
In addition to the wheels, Honda says it intends to show off prototypes of adjustable coilovers with camber plates, a six-piston Brembo brake kit (the stock Type R has a four-piston caliper), and a short throw shifter. We don’t know the details on these parts yet, but there could be more to learn at SEMA this year.
HRC says all of these parts will be available through Honda and Acura dealerships and the Honda DreamShop. That said, you’ll need to wait until the official on-sale date in March 2027 to bring them home.
