Monoshock front suspension
Has is ever been tried on a seven, or even a front engined car? Many people have converted to inboard shocks, and the trend at the moment is for soft
springing, stiff anti-roll and zero droop, which is exactly what the monoshock setup allows.
Not gonna be too nice for a road car, but could work well on a track car!

It's that sort of idea, I was meaning this, as found on many FBMW, F3 cars and hillclimb single seaters:
It has a series of bellville washers either side the 'rocker' which control roll (undamped, as in your photo), and pitch is controlled by
the spring. The setup you've show does exactly the same thing, however roll is controlled by a massive undamped ARB.

The shock doesn't have the be in that configuration, it could be vertically downward as in the GWR Raptor.

Triton did a car with a monoshock iirc.

I'm considering going monoshock on the front of a trike!
Similar arrangement to Seabass's post above.
