I was a former SS user and if you're looking for handling, SS will give you better handling but replacement parts might be hard to come by, MacPherson is more common but lacking slightly in handling. Hope this helps. :)

try to search the prevous thread about Superstrut and go thru it like thread called Supersturt 1,Superstrut 2 or etc... . sure u got ur result....

to differ it..

SS = better handling, heavy steering turning, noisy suspension, parts hard to get NEW, and USED, mech skilled important.

Macpherson= better handling if u got 1 set of good adjusatble, lighter steering, comfortable suspension, easy to get parts, mech easy..

hop can help...

welcome to SS family..

I like the superstrut, it can feel alot better in handling. but i still vote for mcpherson, why? it no point to spend so much money for the thing hard to repair, to find pro mech, and expensive. this is my ideal...

EDRA,

since ur old EE was on mcPherson, i suggest u give a try on SS first. afterall, if u not satisfied with it, u still got the skills (since u DIY transplant urself) to convert back to mcpherson. in this way, u get both world's experience.
