On your second point, that is just a poor or non-designed setup for the chassis. My front adjustment is done from the underside. I mean you can blame Honda, but in reality it is the manufacturer of your sussy where the blame should lie.

Lowered more, rear coilovers maxed with collars still in, front can go down more but didn't want rake. Front tires hit fenders bad at this height, so raised it back up until the front wheels can be widened (it's happening this month)

High quality pics will come after the front's are widened to 8.5 and the ride height is dropped another 0.75" or so.
