Dual-Axis Front Suspension (Type R)

What’s the Benefit?

This design enhances steering geometry for high-performance driving while simultaneously minimizing torque steer, for more direct and enjoyable cornering and acceleration.

The Feature:

The dual-axis MacPherson strut front suspension is unique to the Civic Type R.

• Compared to the design for other Civic models, this suspension uses additional, highly rigid components to separate the steering axis from the damper axis.
• This helps insulate the steering system from the effects of delivering 306 peak horsepower through the front wheels, known as torque steer.
• In addition, the front track is increased by 2.4 inches for greater cornering stability.
