The rear suspension on that platform is absolutely crap comparitively to other Honda platforms. When it compresses, it binds almost immediately. Realtime switched to the TSX from the RSX(mainly) because the geometry is horrid, and Realtime basically kept no components from the stock rear suspension on the RSX. Like I said to the OP, keep the Accord, it's a great platform that doesn't get a lot of attention/support, but there's things out there you can do to it for pretty cheap that will make it a very fun, well handling, and entertaining car.beans wrote: I'd stay the hell away from an EP3 Civic. Suspension=E36 M3. They're god berkeleying ugly, too. At least get an RSX if you're going to force the worst Honda suspension ever designed upon yourself.Not to say that I think they are good looking or that I want one, but I used to see one of those civics show up at autocross events in my area and run in HS. I am sure it was mostly the driver, but it was seconds faster than the pack of spec STS 89-91 civics that would show up too, and many other cars that you wouldn't expect.
It actually had street tires, less sticky that the azenis on the STS cars. Again I'm not saying its the best car in the world, just that the difference can't be that horrible for an excellent driver to be able to drive that as fast as an average driver in a spec STS build.
