So DD and Self levelling are two different things. DD attack body roll while cornering by stiffening both front and rear axles, and Self-levelling act on rear axle only to maintain a level body when towing or carrying heavy loads at the back seat or trunk.
great info

by the way Capt E16, how come the latest Honda stepwagon is getting REAL ugly???
and with a 0-100 of 13secs for the 2L (tested figure), i mean i can run faster than that,
all that Vtec technology gone to waste!

i see Honda only sells a handful of models in HK now, why's that, is Reliance the dealer really f up and reduce the
choice to the HK public?
Thank God that with BMW and the German lot, we can get a massive choice
yea a Hiace is better than the new stepwgn.
I hate it, all the guys at stepwgn club hate it too.
They will not sell over 200 each month like the last stepwgn.
I will keep the stepwgn until it dies on me.
