I'm curious what kind of benefits switching to an inboard suspension would provide. Aside from looking extremely awesome :big grin:

Better weight distribution perhaps?

it can also free up room for other stuff as the shock and spring are no longer directly on the axle

Pros:

Less Unsprung Weight
Easy to customize the settings
Able to drop the vehicle more as you can package things in a flatter area

Cons:

Its all custom, so its expensive
You have to do all the geometry yourself
A bit more complicated
