The lower is similar to a jag setup, and doesn't even have an upper link, it uses the axle as the upper link. A design from the 1960's, that wasn't known for great handling even back then, isn't something I would emulate for a modern scratch built performance vehicle.
Of course, Jag moved the brakes outboard later...
