It's multi-link - but all the link mount points are on the subframe, so if it's installed as an assembly all the setup is handled. As you can see in the diagram I posted earlier it has separate mounts for springs and shocks, but perhaps that can all be handled with a single mount by using coilovers.

As it turns out, it appears all the 6MT (6 speed manual transmission) models were equipped with viscous limited slip differentials. So, it would be best to look for 6MT rather than one with the 5 speed auto. If you go with the auto you'd need to track down an LSD - either OEM or aftermarket.

Thoughts?
