Let's not get too carried away here... speculation is fun and everything (especially on this forum), and I'm aware there has been some strong signals from various execs and people of significance from Honda, but can anyone point me towards a definitive statement that the next-gen Type R WILL be...
Yeah... that's a part I'm a bit worried about. But it also kind of validates my want for coils. I think I'm gonna go that route regardless, I've been considering it for a while- and only went with springs because I wanted the adjustability. I frankly don't give a shit anymore and would prefer...
Getting an alignment as part of the diag, dating back to the shredded Falken. It was set to "near zero" when the ball joints were installed, but I've been pretty hard on it in the year since so I'm curious as well.
This is what people don't understand about me- I can have a drop dead knock out FIST FIGHT with someone- and then shake it off and grab a drink. I just match people's energy, it's what I've always done.
And honestly, you had me at bump stops. I've long been suspicious of the shop that installed...
I HAVE thought of that... but I kind of backed out of it because I figured it shouldn't have been an issue in Sport or Sport+, where the damping is clearly much stronger than Comfort. You're not wrong, I've thought of all the same things. It might bug me enough this weekend to try it out. Now...
Again, wish you were closer. Well thought out response- and I was being a bit facetious with the "airborne" implication but this bump is notorious enough where I routinely see brodozers navigating around it.
I have a good rapport with my shop but AFAIK they don't necessarily have the same...
Look, I don't know why you're getting defensive. I didn't need a "I remember my first beer moment", but that doesn't mean I'm "writing it off as being told wrong information by the community". I view it more as edification. So far I'm literally the only one who's had an issue with this setup...
Thanks for the response, helps lighten the mood a bit because honestly, I haven't really experienced rubbing on cars in the past so I didn't know what to expect. I hear you and this is consistent with thoughts I've had... And it's good to get a bit more validation in what I had suspected was...
I guess, but I've been apprehensive that something is going on since this happened last fall. Just the one tire from the right front, all the others look fine (note the fucked up part is the inside of the tire).
Event's 1.5 hours away, I guess my apprehension outweighs how hardcore an autoxer...
It's worth exploring, maybe my car is an outlier. Also the DSC makes sense. This was just on a test run, I literally just took it for a spin, I'll be doing more in depth troubleshooting today - but I should also note that this sequence of bumps is NASTY. Like, nearly airborne at 40 mph. But it...
I know this isn't a Civic. But worth mentioning. It does rub, at least on comfort settings with the DSC. Only on very rough bumps but it rubs.

I'm still waiting on literally any hybrid sports car to be compelling.
The only one that comes close is the Artura.
The 911 GTS is kind of stupid - it's basically a heavier, slower Turbo S - and I'd much rather have a 911 T- and apparently most of the Porsche customers are saying the same...
They do look good, and I guess you were one of the final batches of RE-71RS in what I'm assuming was 265/35-18. I had a chance at grabbing literally the last 4 in the country in Tire Rack's inventory (275s were already gone) and almost did- but I like getting them heat cycled before delivery and...
Some people just cross a line where the projected value of future conversation diminishes to a point it's no longer worth the effort of clicking the "ignore" button. So I try to have them do it for me.
Back on topic, I actually love the PS4S for the street. I kept my 19" wheels around...
You know, I actually caught myself for a second. My first reaction was to give my usual flippant reaction that I've defaulted to on these forums for years... but I stopped myself and remembered "that's not who I am. I'm a professional, courteous, friendly adult who enjoys helping people on these...
This is truth. Dear god.

Sorry, I guess you'd call this a "pitchfork"- but the engraving is the only piece that makes me pretty sick to my stomach. I mean, I'm all for being a fan of a design and not wanting to splurge, because wheels like this are insanely expensive. I still can't believe I spent what I did on my...
