does the s14 have unequal length control arms in the front or machpherson struts (please dont let it be number 2)  and how bout the back?  also is any of it independent.

I've been told that the front struts are MacPherson style struts.  I think the rear is shocks.

It has 4 wheel independent suspension but the front is MacPherson. There just ins't enough room up there to have a double wishbone front suspension.

Why an "oh please don't let it be #2"?  MacPherson struts aren't THAT bad.  Ever supercar has them... and so do the new Civics :biggrin:

macphersons on super cars!  i dont think so the reason i said dont let it be number 2 is because machpersons dont have the same amount of grip as unequal lenght control arms.  i hope there are after market suspension peices.  if there are let me know.  that car deserves better than macphersons.

Well.. I'd call a Porsche 911 turbo a super car.  Also, one of the best handling cars on the planet according to SCC and Car and Driver.  But hey, they're not respectable.  Neither am I.
