With a bit of careful redesigning, you may be able to use the whole car
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

hmmmmmm, A lot of arms there.
I would re-design the upright to "standard" double wishbone system.

Redesigned beacouse of weight ?
My primari intention is to avoid complex mesuring and cuting in rear axle .. weight is price .And extra is comfort , good disk brakes . I have axle
with 5 braces ,diff (ratio???) , two disks , hand brake and sub-frame with 4-point atachment.
(sorry spelcheckered english...  )

You will have a very heavy back with mounting the complete sub-frame.
You need also to mount different shocks and springs. The unsprung weight is nearly the same but the weight of the car will be less.
Maybe someone else can help you

Ditch the rear subframe, adapt a dedion system or make your own. Remove the struts from the front suspension and replace with similar diameter tube
with tapers welded in (like the sierra ones but much longer) - Simple
