The suspension was a little harder to control/predict on the Gen1, but not horrible by any means. Snap Oversteer is a myth perpetuated by bad drivers who don't know the limits of their car.

You really can't loose with either the Gen1 or Gen2 suspension. I love my Gen2 suspension, and it works great for autox. However, in Canada, you're probably going to be hard pressed to find a Gen2 sitting around, and might have to settle for the Gen1. Just know the cars limits and don't go past those on the street!


You are right though. The '91-'92 suspension is absolutely no problem for someone who knows how to drive and respects the car. That said, most people don't know how to drive. As long as you remember never to lift off abruptly or brake during corners near the limit without being fully prepared for the back end to come out, you'll be fine.
