double wishbone vs. struts

[kfoote]

replicant, nice post, about the only thing I can add is that the McPherson Strut suspension is also significantly easier and quicker to assemble on an assembly line than most other types of suspension, resulting in lower manufacturing costs.

I'll also throw in that many Porsches use torsion bar suspensions (and the same ones at that, the rear torsion bars from a 944 are a direct bolt in to the 356), which are another animal entirely.
