Having a good SLA suspension is pretty important on the drive wheels, not so much on the other end. Strut fronts are becoming pretty common even on fairing high performance (street cars) machines.
As for lower CG and the flat 4 engine. They do have lower cg, but for this kind of car it's only very small difference. <1% ~1/5 of an inch. The effect on roll and weight transfer is negligible and the effect on grip is even less. Having proper control over camber, toe and roll centers is far, far more important. |

I come from a drifting background and because the car doesn't have double wishbones means that it will be a lot easier to develop angle parts for. Plus the added ease of camber adjustment at the track once camber plates are install just makes it that much more user friendly over the wishbones.
