not really relevant to hondas but

IRS = Independent Rear Suspension

[trism]

why isnt it relevant to hondas lukey?

youll find that your dc has IRS, my civic has IRS. infact just about every honda between the AH all the way up to the ep3 has IRS

if the back wheels/suspension are not connected by any sort, then its independent rear

this is from a non IRS car

see the beam that runs across from left to right. its a solid axle. means that when one wheel moves, the other one does as well

youll notice it differs from hondas, which dont have this.

[Lukey]

why isnt it relevant to hondas lukey?

youll find that your dc has IRS, my teg has IRS

if the back wheels/suspension are not connected by any sort, then its independent rear

didnt realise, my bad

First post has been updated with the new additions.

what the bloody hell is a "mang" is it some slang way of saying "man" as in "yeah mang"???

it sounds dirty... like moot!... ****.... moot? so what do you think?

"mang" or "maing" is an overexaggerated or misinterpreted version of when someone of hispanic/cuban background says "man"

Watch "Scarface" and you'll get the idea... lol

I'll also try and come up with some new additions. Thanks for the rep on my old/other User Q-Ball :)
