Wouldn't be surprised if there was some level of cost savings. The rear suspension works, and in some ways accentuates the having a fun low power tail happy car.


I've done a couple of lapping days with this setup with a few recent added parts like subframe bushings and SS1 coils. Car is very compliant and predictable. I can see how some may want to stiffen rear sprin rates depending on track/driving style.

Personally like how the car feels right now, my local track at calabogie has a lot of hill/elevation changes with corners and I like having the rear end be more neutral and predictable to lay down power.

For the rust potential, I soak everything metal with fluid film up here in Canada and find that generally helps keep stuff from looking crusty. I cleaned it recently while doing the subframe inserts and paint was still in good shape.
