The B14 has a rear beam instead of IRS with McPherson struts. The beam needs to be bent (already linked a couple of threads on that). The B14 has some issue with less travel (?) in the rear that is different than a B13. Maybe....I think.

And that is the sum total of my knowledge.

Can one of you guys not only explain the differences but what it means from an enthusiasts standpoint? A "Readers Digest" version of what your average forum head needs to know.

Gracias.
The B13/B14 front suspension is virturaly identical. The B14 rear suspension works but has some inherit flaws, mostly a super high roll center. B14's require beam bending and a lot of rear roll stiffness to work.

When sused out B14's handle pretty good.
