That's it, I'm getting one!

Eman, I think you are talking about the trailing arms, right?

If you look at the suspension design, the lower control arm is not the typical "A-arm" setup. It was just a link. So you need to provide a way to fix that one extra degree of freedom. And the reason why it is done this way is because you now can adjust the caster angle and wheelbase (I'd think the wheelbase is the byproduct of the caster angle adjustment)..

It is done in a similar fashion in some 1:1 performance car.

Question - I see the rear links that go out to the lower arms. What's that supposed to help with? I always wondered...
