I'd rather walk way from something saying "that was too hard" than walk away saying "that was too easy"

EK/EG/DC2/96-00 CR-V rear suspension is not double wish bone!
More like a hybrid weissach trailing arm with camber control arms.
Fore-aft loads are taken through the trailing arm.
The rear upper control arm isn't strong enough to do anything but control camber.
Also, the fore/aft roll center is constrained to be the pivot point of the trailing arm
The rear lower control arm, ... well you can sit on the fence with that one.
Don't get me wrong, I'm very much a fan of this layout, but it's definitely not like a S2000 or NSX.
S2000 can bolt roll center adjusters on the rear. EG/EK's can't.
The disadvantage of trailing arms is a slight roll steer effect, although Hondas like BMW's don't seem to suffer from it too much.
