What is the suspension setup in a rx-5?

[Whizbang]

is it similiar to the Rx4 with the leaf spring rears? If so what can be done to replace it?

[Jeff20B]

The rear has coil springs and lever arms, or something. I'm not a suspension guy so I can't tell ackerman from bump steer.

Brochure says 5 link with coil springs.

i had the occasion to meet a gentleman with not one, but two Rx-5s earlier this year. it's the first time i'd ever seen the Rx-5 in real life and they are very cool cars. jeez, where are you guys finding them? lucky so-and-sos ... :)

Rx5 has struts up front and trailing arm setup at the rear.
