M35 Suspension

[AlexCim]

Does anyone have any information on the M35's suspension set up?

Having a look at an eBay auction, I noticed something a little odd in this picture. The M35 has multi-link double wishbone rear suspension!

Separate shocks and springs.

Anyone got any other information on M35 suspension?

Can anyone give any reviews of multi link double wishbones?

Just thinking about my next non-drift related car..

kinda makes sense when you look at the rear cargo area and the shape of the rear wheel arches - no strut tops.

I am not doubtful of its performance, but just want some personal reviews.

At the same time, similar suspension is used on most of the new Audi's, so I am sure its a great design.

the 350z uses a similar setup too i think..

Double wishbone suspension is by far the best independent suspension available, especially when you lump its descendant, multilink suspension in with it. Double wishbone uses two H-shaped members, one upper and one lower, to maintain constant camber as the wheel changes height. It is also generally accompanied by axles with CV joints for the same reason as semi trailing arm. Double wishbone is very rigid and provides absolute camber control. Multilink suspension provides the same benefits but at a savings in weight and space by using more suspension links than two; often as many as five. It can realistically be considered the same as double wishbone, however, as it uses essentially the same approach (triangulation) to provide complete rigidity and control.

but.... it's more expensive.
