This may sound a little anticlimactic, but I wanted to throw a bit of caution towards an awesome design. Where the 2 major control arm tubes meet and are welded I'd like to see some sort of gusset. These old super bodies move more than we think, so I can imagine a weld fatigue occurring at that point. Years ago while doing a track event at Laguna Seca I witnessed a prototype lower control arm fail on a S4 and it wasn't pretty. Just imagine sudden failure of that weld joint. Some sort of gusset would either prevent that or at least provide a preview. I love the concept, especially the sway bar!
