Are you using double wishbone front suspension? That also reduces transverse engine size capability. McPherson strut is more compact, and what most RL compacts and subcompacts use.
Early model Civics were unique in that they had double wishbone suspension front and rear. I think only after 2000 they switched to MacPherson strut for more legroom up front. So it would be good if a civic could be recreated.
