As I've posted these before, I am a big fan of these suspension walk arounds.

I found this walk around interesting, I think one of the most significant factors is that the ST is not very far diverged from the original gen 1 car. Some additional points I found interesting:
-The front control arms look like they are right off a gen 1 car
-Interesting changes to the front knuckle to improve steering response
-No superstrut/revo knuckle makes me sad
-Limited i.e. no front camber adjustment
-Good ole control blade rear
-The dreaded rear lower control arm bolts are still hanging on, ugh, where’s my antiseize
-love the new rear sway bar mounting to the knuckle
Discuss!

I havent tried searching but did they ever do this with the old RS? Or do they only stick to the USDM cars? curious to read about and see the revo up close

Generally, insideline does this with their long term test vehicles. So usually just the USDM cars.
