Only 10k!

I bet with some time and about 3-400$ I could make that.

And for those super slammed cars:


To help with roll center. I bet I could make those too. Any one got a spare set of front knuckles I can have to practice on?

how did you find that?

It was posted on a other forum.

interesting

I have a spare S14 rear subframe to take measurements off of. Maybe when I get a daily driver I might attempt to make something like that. I could design the upright in cad and have a machine shop make it for me.

just buy a z32, better platform. FWIW, Porsche seems to do fine with macpherson up front.

^ why buy a z32?? basically the same suspension as s13/r32. just the z32 is heavier.

Yea so do S chassis I dont see the need to change it. But what I posted is for the rear suspension.

The other thing I posted is just a modified stock knuckle which helps improve the suspension geometry on slammed cars with mcpherson strut front suspensions.

And yea I like Z32's but I'd rather have my S14. Though a Z32 on a diet with a nicely built SR would be sweet.

Z32's run a double wishbone front suspension, similar to the skyline. But the rear suspension on all the cars are virtually the same.

because the z32 has double wishbone front suspension stock, has a lower center of gravity without going crazy on the lca angles, has bigger wheel wells for bigger tires, and more power potential with a better torque curve. Plus the heavyness helps with stability.
