This car has the Ohlins and the Cups running on speedlines. As far as the Autoexpress (Not autocar) vid with Steve Sutcliffe test went that car seemed to be on Bridgestones, albeit 19"s , had some braking issues and no mention of Ohlins. Regardsless, the Civic's main strengths appear to be its handling and grip which is to be much respected and fair play to Honda. Renaultsport has always ignored the horsepower race and concentrated on handling above all else. Has to be said that good as the Civic was the Ohlin equipped Meg still has the edge.
After watching the video I bet the civic will be horrible to drive day to day. The ride looked solid.
