Are you guys SEMA members, at the manufacturer level? Tech Transfer would get you the CAD data, and many times you can glean information from that, as to how/why things are done, ie bars too short/long being designed for preload, etc. I don't believe Subaru participates, but Scion does.

I never dealt with data from Scion, but GM is great to work with via this program.
