It appears I subscribe to a different philosophy on IRS design...

First, take a look at sucessful short/long arm IRS systems. You'll notice the caster is at zero, caster gain is reversed and steep, camber gain is slightly more aggressive, and anti-properties are reversed. Not to mention bushing design needs to be looked at due likely issues with shudder when powering out of a corner. And this is just a start!

I'm trying to think about how you could make a IFS work without too much trouble, and I'm not seeing it. I guess it could be done, but not something I'd be happy with.
