Default Si suspension Geometry???

I had a dumb question so flame if you must. But from what I've read is it true the honda finally got it right and completely corrected the blunders of the suspension geometry found on the DC5 and EP3??? Meaning the 06+ si is good to go?? I only ask because I think the current si is starting to grow on me even though it's not a hatch and has a mini van windshied!!

It lacks the double-wishbone of previous years.

So does that make it inferior?

No, but Honda did fix or improve upon the DC5/EP3 suspension dramatically.

That "minivan" front windshield is laid back at a 22 degree angle....helping with the aerodynamics of the car. And much more aerodynamic than your average minivan.

with a good choice in suspension and swaybars this car can handle better despite the geometry

If you ever question the aerodynamic value of your civic, drive a box-truck around for a day or two.
