Does anyone have or know where to find a diagram of the stock 240 suspension (s13 dimensions). I am planning out my eventual suspension and would like to know the stock suspension layout. I got a hold of a couple of decent books on suspension setups and would like some numbers to plug into the calculations I have learned. Thanks..

Dont have to as I own a hard copy. Sorry, I guess I wasn't being clear. I mean a diagram with mounting point information/distances/etc.

I saw another thread where someone mentioned how the popular uber-wide wheels caused unfavorable suspension geometry (increase in scrub radius, etc.) And I would like to be able to calculate these effects myself. Thanks.

Um, I want to do the same thing, but with the S14. Calculations and maybe even a 3D model in CAD. I started a thread and got one reply telling me I won't get replies! But I'm still looking, which is how I found this. If I ever find anything, I'll let you know. Perhaps you could do the same for me! Good luck.
