Honda Civic suspension -- going backwards?
Hi,
I have a 1999 Honda Civic. It has multi link read and Wish-bone front suspension. The newer Civics have Macpherson strut suspension. I though Wish-bone set ups were ment to be better, or does this make such a small difference no one cares? The more expensive Honda's still have the Wish-bone front. Why did honda go for a Macpherson Strut? Cost? Best, Mike. |
