most hondas have struts...
looks like he used a shock with an eyelet instead of the "tabs" and made it work. the biggest problem being that it's not solid and can move around that the pivot point he add...should have used jb weld.
there's an upper wishbone on the rear of civics.

In a battle between ancient arts and modern technology, France's army is teaching birds of prey to bring down remote-controlled drones when they enter no-go urban airspace.
Four golden eagles are getting military training for combat against battery-charged drones that just about anybody can buy in a local store, and fly into security-sensitive zones such as presidential palaces, wittingly or not.
"These eagles can spot the drones several thousand meters (yards) away and neutralize them," Jean-Christophe Zimmerman, a French air force general, told reporters.
The idea, he says, was inspired by Dutch police trials.
The millennium-old art of falconry has an advantage over gun use, he said, in cases where large crowds are present, such as during annual street parades where thousands turn out to see fireworks shows or the country's president on July 14, a national holiday.
In theory, the birds can grab or at least halt a drone, many of which are now sold in toy shops or stores for enthusiasts of remote-control objects - or would-be militants looking for a way to drop explosives from afar.
The eagles reduce the risk posed by use of bullets in crowded zone, said Zimmerman.
