The Element SC takes street duty seriously. Its completely retuned suspension boasts stiffer springs and dampers, bigger sway bars and a lowered ride height.
It rolls on 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in low-profile 225/55 R18 rubber for an increased contact- patch and reduced sidewall flex. And best of all, the SC has the Honda-engineered hardware to back it up.

This system consists of an electronic position sensor connected to the accelerator pedal that sends a signal to the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU combines the accelerator-position signal from the driver with data such as engine rpm, coolant temperature and road speed, and then determines the optimum position for the throttle plate. It then sends a signal to the Drive-by-Wire™ driver unit, which electronically operates a stepper motor on the throttle body. The stepper motor opens and closes the throttle to the exact position necessary for proper engine response.
The Element SC is big on function, and the versatile cargo design allows you to arrange the seats to make enough room to toss in all your gear. The clamshell tailgate and side cargo doors allow easy loading, and there are plenty of tie-down points to secure cargo.
The front suspension is a MacPherson strut with a large lower L-shaped arm that soaks up bumps and road disturbances quite effectively, thanks to its long spring travel. A bushing, built into the front, inner pivot of the lower suspension arm, provides the necessary compliance to absorb jolts. This suspension design results in a smooth ride, yet provides excellent steering response and enhanced straight-line braking stability.
