Have you ever read any articles on either of the cars you accuse of having shitty suspensions? The Evo and the STi are on steroids they are very very very capable. In fact many people said the Evo suspension was too harsh and harsh to me doesn't suggest a pussy suspension, it suggests a very capable suspension because cushy just doesn't get you around a corner faster. The japan spec Civic Type R has 222hp the Evo and STi are both pushing close to 300hp in their 2007 setups, you also get AWD as opposed to FWD in the civic. Go watch some WRC and then come back here and tell me again that the Civic type R will beat them. If that doesn't do it come to the track with me sometime, I know a whole bunch of guys with Evos and STIs and other subies and we can strap you down in and see what you think. I will give you that the Type R is lighter by about 500lbs but sometime you need that power to keep up, the Type R looses at the Track any day to a STi or Evo I'm sorry.
