I have a Honda Civic Type R 2002 model. I am finding the ride not so pleasant because I dont find that it grips the road too well on dry, worse when wet. I can feel every single bump on the road. tyres brand new. what can I do to get smooth ride?

Hi,

Because it's one of the sporty models, it'll have different suspension and wheels/tyres than the standard Civic.

The bumpy ride is the car (and you) actually feeling all the dips and bumps in the road - which is a good thing. The handling will be better in yours than in a standard Civic.

This is because standard ones will have standard suspension and big fat doughnut type tyres for a smooth ride, where you have a stiffer and lower suspension with low profile tyres (which will probably also be wider than standard Civic tyres) giving you better handling and grip, but a bit bumpy.

Don't worry, it's all good stuff :)

If you really don't like the ride, you may want to consider changing it over for a standard Civic.

Many people with sport-trim cars have this complaint. Personally, I put it in the same league as buying a Hummer H2 and then complaining about the poor fuel mileage.

If you get a regular Civic, can I have your Type R? LOL

People with this complaint should try driving a forklift. The type most commonly found in a warehouse environment has solid tires and no suspension system. If you were to run over a dime, you'd feel it. Buy comparison, Type-rfusion's Honduh would feel like a big, sloppy “land barge” sedan of the type that were popular before the first gas crunch in the 1970s.

... and they are really fun if you have to take them outside on wet pavement to unload a truck. The average parking lot is rougher and has more cracks than a concrete warehouse floor and the rain brings the soaked-in oil to the surface for added enjoyment. Slip, slide, and shake!
