Aluminum Suspension - The Nissan Z aluminum suspension. Three links up front. Another four in the rear. Ripple-control shocks. And a unique separation of the rear shock and spring. All these innovations add up to one thing. Confidence. Whether cornering, braking, or battling a stretch of abused asphalt, the multi-link design promotes camber change, allowing the wheels of the Z to remain flat on the pavement, while the reduced weight means quicker reactions. Add in the ripple control shocks and vibrations are minimized for a smoother ride and better input of the road through the steering wheel.
