system, which
allows you to adjust the steering, throttle (and, if you have an automatic gearbox or
adaptive dampers, the gearshifts and ride quality) between ECO PRO, Comfort and Sport modes.

The specially tuned
Adaptive Damper System (see below) helps the Type R excel on the street and track by
allowing different, optimized damping curves that also adjust automatically to suit conditions while driving, based on steering input, lateral G and suspension stroke.
The
Adaptive Damper System, along with the dual - pinion variable - ratio electric power steering, drive - by - wire throttle, and brake system, are tied to the Type R's three selectable driving modes, with COMFORT, SPORT and + R settings, allowing the driver to dial up the Type R's reflexes depending on the driving enviro

To take full advantage of its extremely precise and rigid platform, the DBS employs a new and sophisticated
Adaptive Damping
System (ADS) which uses two separate valves to set the
dampers to five different positions,
allowing instant adjustment of the car's ride and handling characteristics.
The Civic Type R features a new four - point
Adaptive Damper System which
allows for continuous independent control of each of the wheels; it's designed to limit wheel - load transfers during acceleration and deceleration, while maximizing road holding.
Other differences are more obvious though — while the Scat Pack model gets a static spring and Bilstein
damper suspension setup, the SRT 392 uses a Hellcat - like three - mode
adaptive system which
allows occupants to alter ride stiffness on the fly from the infotainment display.
Honda Civic Type R also features a new four - wheel
Adaptive Damper System, specifically developed for the Type R model, which
allows continuous independent control of each wheel for improved ground contact.
