So long as there are "mechanically minded" people to look after and maintain them, they will soldier on. It's the "disposable" brigade who will give in. I've been looking at the rear suspensions used on lower level racing cars and I feel that fully adjustable rod and box section suspensions could be made to fit. It's basically a two point fixing and a spring base, with a fixing for the shock absorber. Once the angles and lengths are measured, it's a simple job to fabricate something which should outlast the shell.
