There was a discussion on that very thing on another forum recently. The
general consensus was that it reallty does not change what is wrong with the
Spitfire rear suspension. It remains a swing axle suspension and therefore
still has the issues with the camber varying as the suspension goes through its
normal travel. I think that if you really want to make improvements, the best
thing to do (if it is allowed by your sanctioning body) is to go with a true
independent setup with both upper and lower control arms and a variable length
drive axle.
Cheers,
