I noticed the 89-91 RX-7s have a slightly different front suspension... better steering angle? camber?

 

Stop thinking it has a "better" front suspension - it doesn't.
Go price out how much to replace a hub or the lower control arm...you can't - you need to buy the WHOLE ASSEMBLY from Mazda - big $$$'s!

i never said it was better just asking whats different about it. and if it isn't better what's so bad performance wise about it

 

I believe the S5's have softer shocks as well as plastic sway bar endlinks that most people consider inferior to the s4 setup

 

no i meant the suspension geometry... its a little different

 

You said...

You did use the word "better".

I said nothing really changed except the hub to lower A-arm connection which requires you to buy the whole damn thing from Mazda making it really expensive to replace.

I've owned and AutoX both an S4 & S5 and can't say I could tell the difference in handling. Power yes but they both drove the same.
