B15 vs P11 Front Suspension and Weights

[CovertRussian]

I've been curious on how much heavier the P11 (P10 too) front multi-link suspension then the standard Sentra Macpherson setup is.

Please read Moto IQ's MacPherson vs Multi-link technical comparison, if you are curious to see why one is better then the other.




MacPherson Strut Suspension
Weight: 27lbs per side, 54lbs both sides

I don't have the OEM strut, oem weight's shouldn't be to far from the Tein Basics.



Turning is done by the top hat


Multi-link Shock Suspension
Weight: 45lbs per side, 90lbs both sides


Turning is done at the knuckle, the shock does not move, it also does not support the weight of the car.



There is also a third link, this helps keep negative camber when suspension gets under load.


Total weight difference is 18lbs per side and 36lbs for both sides.

cut the nub off the top of the 3rd link its gota be atleast 3 pounds

Probably is, is it actually good for anything? Figured might be good for counterbalancing, but haven't really looked into it.

[p10det]

not 100% but I think it is p11 only. I dont think its on the p10. if this is true p10 comes stock with nub deleate lol

Looks like P10 doesn't have it indeed.

No nub on the P10.

I believe the "counter weight" thing is only on the '00+ P11s. Boy does the B15 have a lot of dead weight up front!

[p10det]
