Lets get real for just a minute and live in the world of reality. I think you took the comparison a little too far. For a street driven car, I think it rides faily stiff. Obviously its going to feel like a Cadillac compared to a full drag car. Compare it to a regular Civic or any other car off the lot and its a lot stiffer. That was my point. You could say a 11 second street car was fast and then I could come back an say its slow as piss compared to a 7 second drag import. I would be comparing apples to oranges.

I'm not cure if that was directed at me or not. To explain a bit. A statement like:

"There is nothing mild about the suspension. Its a stiff ride"

Is a bit of a blanket statement. To me at least, and to a lot of people on here, this implies a barely streetable suspension set-up. Just about anything that can be run daily on the street without real danger of popping the tires or damaging the car is pretty mild IMHO.

Now I'm not taking away from the car's handling capabilities when I say that by any means. From what I hear, this little Civic can tear it up on an AutoX course.

My point is that the original reference to it being 'mild' was in reference to it being unstreetable and hence up for sale.

As for living in the 'world of reality' please explain there. I've been fortunate enough to play a very little bit with suspension that really isn't suitable for the street and hence feel I do have a handle on the line there.

Before I get all offended at the post, maybe I should ask for clarification.
