Default Suspension question?

what kind of suspension is on the del sol? is it wishbone up front? I read about a mid engine rear conversion and was wondering if anyone was farmiliar with it? like the option 2 model?
Now they're unibody cars with a complete engine cradle, right? I'm herd it wouldn't be that hard just to backhalf the car with tube and bolt in the cradle????? any comments would be apretiated. thanks

Sols have the same suspension as a 5th gen Civic, which is almost identicle to a 4th gen (aside from the 88's). But from what I know, they only made one rear engine sol, and when it's all custom fab work, you never know what they did to it unless you can seeit first hand. Most people don't like to share their secrets...

Option 2 is Japanese magazine...
They also do videos and if I'm not mistaken, do some tuning of cars... To what extent, I'm not sure.

Del Sol suspension: double-wishbone coil overs front and back.
