Suspension Diff.s - '96 vs '97

I just ran across a 240-related article which states that the 1995 model of the 240sx doesn't have a front suspension that corrects for camber:

http://www.**********/faq/articles/camber_correction.htm

Yes, I know, rival site and all that... But getting beyond any tribal urges, I have several questions I'm hoping someone knowledgeable could answer:

1) Do '95 and '96 Silvias have the same suspension setup? If not, how are they different?

2) How are the '97 and '98 Silvias different from the '95 and '96 model years in their suspension, if at all?

3) What "camber correction" could the aforementioned article be referring to? Camber correction post-lowering?

Any ideas or discussion, much appreciated.

the '95 - '96 (S14) are the same chassis and same suspension setup (visually that is).

the difference between the S14 ('95 & '96) and the S14a ('97 - '98) is that the S14 is OBD1 and the S14a is OBD2...

the only difference between the S14 and S14a are the ront fenders, hood, front and rear lights thats it, everything else is pretty much the same.

but on that forum, I think they're talking about camber adjustment after being lowered.

Also, if u drop it... dun get camber kits... my boss says u cant drift w/ em on there (risk of them snapping on u) but if ur not a drifter, and u jus do normal driving... cambering ur suspension would be better for ur tires...

jus voicing out my knowledge... thats all hehe
