i just looked at honda's website on the current civic. and it talked about long length tie rods. i just looked at what they mean up close in the parts diagram, and man, im no automotive engineer and i dunno if this has ever been used on any other car, but this seems kinda innovative. they basically made the arc of the tie rods as large as possible to create the least amount of bumpsteer/ackerman. kinda cool.

yeah, its a macpherson strut suspension. but at least they will try their best to find ways to improve its handling.

 

Thats on all 2001+ civics and 2002+ RSXs--you notice how high the rack sits? Also, I would think you could adapt the si electric power steering to the other (2001+) civics and rsxs--as there is a blocked off port for the motor on these cars--has anyone done this?

 

its also on the insight.
