Yea I saw that thread on FreshAlloy. But why use the S13/14 suspension if I can get a coilover system for the car. See link- http://www.overboost.com/obs/product.asp?pid=18496

Vert? No the one I want is a coupe. The convertibles were an after thought and they arent as structurally sound as the coupe. Heres the Autotrader to a cheap coupe - http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...r=&cardist=200

Mattback, not sure what you meant by the trailing arm. Can this be fixed or compensated with after market parts?

And heres 2 pics of a nice Leopards in Japan -

It's the design of the suspension - trailing arm like on FC RX-7's, only crappier design.

Even if it were Strut it would be better than the trailing arm from the M30 (not sure why it's so bad but I've heard it from other places as well, I think it has to do with no increase in camber under bound)

Kalik - If by "aftermarket" you include redesigning and rebuilding the suspension, then yeah you could get one and fix it... It would be hot if you could stick it.

Lol Steve.... I realized the M30 isn't worth the fabbing when I can get another car that has a dedicated aftermarket. Plus this thread is like 5 months old Rb25guy.
