torsion bars are found on the back of peugeot 106gti and saxo's etc . instead of using a set of shocks and springs they jus use a shock on each side and a bar i.e torsionbar for the damping affect . worst setup ever invented imo
does the fn2 not have a torsion beam rather than torsion bar?
torsion beam still has an individual shock and spring per side where as the torsion bar only has a shock per side and the spring is produced from a bar under torsional stress.
correct me if i'm wrong of course
Honda don't need to equip the modern Type Rs with things like IRS, most of the people buying them will be reps getting their company car, no-one's going to know the difference apart from hardcore fanatics who will be sticking to the older and more nimble models anyway.
Cheaper to manfucture and only 1% of the customers will even notice, let alone complain. Good move by them I say.
