Default quick suspension questions

does anyone know where i can find a faq for 5th gen civic suspension? all i know is that the front is double wishbone and it has a multilink rear.

also - looking around for a single adjustable coilover setup (no separate spring preload adjustment) with pillowball uppers. i am trying to find out if camber plates can be utilized in both the front and the rear, or does the rear camber have to be adjusted with an aftermarket control arm. if so, which arm please?

thanks!!

front camber has to be adjusted by a sliding mechanism of some sort
that relocated the upper control arm outward

for the rear it is the upper link/upper control arm
really all you have to do to adjust the camber in the rear is use some longer bolts and some washers between thre link and chassis to move it outward

there are a few companies that make "turnbuckle" style camber kits for the rear
which allows you to adjust the camber in the rear similar to how toe in on the front wheels are adjusted

if you have any more questions please feel free to ask
