After 20 years we finally get a Civic Type R in North American. As usual there is a massive amount of hype surrounding this model.
The Type R is yet another addition to the extreme hot hatch market that buyers have been craving. While the Ford Focus RS has been the recent king, other cars like the VW Golf R are still competitive. Strap in for one of the most detailed videos on the CTR without all the fluff or click bait. An avid Type R owner, Evan, drove his call all the way from Canada to to Illinois to make this video possible!!!

Alignment Notes.
(Strut Towers are slotted to allow some camber correction but they are not as versatile as eccentric adjusters and have a limit of roughly + or - .5 degrees)
