I was able to fit it into my 18 Hatch without much trouble. Would you mind letting me know what dimensions you are
Designed for use with the 2016 to 2021 Honda Civic 2 Coupe with a front door and a back door A single door sedan (FC 10th Generation) is available. This does not fit the type Cars with a rack and a hitchback design
In short, yes. There has been no major change to the chassis dimensions for the 2020 model. Your Civic has to be a sedan, not a hatchback. The 2020 Civic Sedan/Coupe Si should also have the same, if not the same, feature.

My '18 Civic Hatchback EX will be using this. I like the way it looks and feels. As the test ran a corner turn, we could notice the significant grip it had before we removed it. My car used to screech when I would put a lot of tools in the trunk, which moved the rear end a lot. But now it only tractions which is great for me since I always have tools in the trunk.
The hold up has been good so far. Installed a lot harder than I expected, since the bolts were very tight with the stock parts on my car (I thought I was going to break either my bar or the car trying to tighten). My perception of the situation has changed. The suspension makes my 2019 Honda Civic Ex stiffer and keeps it straight, especially on turns and around Michigan's annoying roundabouts. It's a good buy for the price. I wish the color matched my car, though.
It might be helpful to remove the entire strut bar. Once you’ve done that, remove the three bolts at the top of each strut tower that will act as anchors for the triangle mounts in the two corners. * After the first three items are loosely fitted, fit the bar itself Once everything is bolted down properly you''re good to go! ( The battery cables may not fit perfectly, but you're able to move them around to get a snug fit. )
Overall, it is a great enhancement to the car, and you can still notice a difference in handling even with the adaptive dampers in sport mode.
It's easy to install as well. I have a 2020 Sport Hatchback that fits the cover. There is some flex in the middle and when you apply pressure, it bends a little more. The steering does not seem to be any different The material feels a little stiffer than usual. Although, it is only a part of an upgrade to the suspension. The next step would be to install the sway bar and end links for both the.
This is a simple install, and the front feels like it is tightening. Exactly what I was looking for.
I am very pleased with this product. It does what it should Upon receiving my item, I noticed that the mounting brackets were facing the wrong way. The mounts will automatically be installed if you take it all apart and begin disassembling. USE ONLY YOUR OWN BOLTS! DO NOT USE THE OWN There were studs on my struts that were destroyed.
Despite what the title suggests, it's not what it seems. When I got it in the mail, it didn't fit at all in my 2020 civic si. There was a lot of misalignment in the bolt holes. In addition, the reviews indicate that this item is designed for hatchbacks rather than sedans or coupes. Make sure you have a hatchback before you purchase. Additionally, their description is incorrect - it was not my fault. I was charged a restocking fee.
". There were, however, 10mm nuts that were shipped with this product, which aren't the correct size for my application I only needed 8mm nuts A 50 percent versus a 10 percent difference To get my 2019 Honda Civic Touring, I will need a new battery of 25 volts. A 14-dollar purchase from ACE hardware got me the correct nuts.
