the accent is the cheapest car in america. and the XG350 is hyundais top model car, not the sonata. i understand what your trying to say, but the point i was trying to make was i didnt expect hyundai to start putting front double wishbones on their cars before honda put them back on the civic as the civics all around double wishbones are what made it popular.

ya =( i hear ya... i have a 7th gen sedan and the suspension is Terrible ... struts blew a few times but got htem fixed under warranty but now they are blown again and im not getting them fixed cause im out of warranty.

Didn't the 6th gens have double wishbones ?

suspension mods are the only things i'll probably do for the civic since I want to get into auto-x next season which will take away some time from riding on the water with my Honda Aquatrax PWC...

so how come porsche bmw and other such companies use a macpherson strut setup?

vtecharry · 10-21-2005, 07:19 PM

IWU said that the rear sway bar on LX/EX is 10mm. Well, the Honda web site says it's 11mm.

It's still seems too small if you ask me, considering that my '01 EX coupe has an 12mm in the rear and it weighs 100lbs less! What's up with that?

You took the words right outta my mouth...and they do it extremely well. Besides, I hear Honda got the strut thing right this time. At least on the Si anyway. Nobody really talks about the other models.

They have the proper geometry worked out... the previous gen civics/Si's had a pretty big change in bump steer due to the layout of the Macpherson up front but I guess it has been revised with this new car... plus for packaging on the car it has a good bang for the buck ratio as far as space saving on the chassis...

Peace
