PLEASE.... flame on honda if that's what gets me off??


OK ANY OTHER IMPORT IS CAPABLE OF BEING EXACTLY AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN A CIVIC.

something more comparable... a 200sx you say??? OK the sentra has a FAR better suspension than the civic both in stock form and modified... they use 4 wheel mcpherson struts... we have shocks.

They also have a 2.0 liter engine which comes turboed in japan... there's a list of about 5 things that you can swap on to it to make it EXAVCTLY as fast a a WORKED 240...

Civic's are NOT great cars... sure they're fun and they drive nice and you can do swaps... the only difference between honda and say nissan or toyota or anyother import manufacture is the honda's have a much bigger aftermarket availability which makes it easy to build them up...

My old sentra (93 E bottom of the line) would ROAST you guys with coilovers with nothing more than wheels eibach's and struts.


forget strut towers and swaybars... it's a FAR better designed handling machine than the civic...

Look at auto cross.. at least around here... neon's OWN civics... there are a TON of GREAT handling cars out there the civic is decent and all but it's no GOD by any stretch.

and as far as the stock suspension not being all that great on an ex... You have NO idea what your talking about... I have stock shocks springs and sway bar (just up front) and about 150k miles.. I'd say that's pretty good. Beyond the fact that it still handles mint....My buddy with an rx-7 turbo II (one of the best handling cars EVER) was just in my car the other day and said "wholly shit this thing handles mint"

It's all driver... I'm telling you I could (probobly) ROAST most of these kids with full coilover suspensions with a minivan through corners or not...
