Default Quick Question *Suspension*

Well Time for suspension.

Was thinkin springs.

But I wanna get normal crap outta the way first.

I am confused on Control Arms Are they only "located" in front?

Rear has no control arms?

So it's 2- Upper 2 Lower On each side *Front of Car* 8 Total in front.

Thanks guys!

Yeah I was confused about the same thing:

There are 2 upper control arms on each side of the front of the car. That makes 4 front upper control arms that you need. There are 2 lowers, one on each side.
