Interesting cantilever suspension

[Performance nut]

Saw something today that I never thought I would see. Below is a custom cantilever suspension on an old school Camaro. Seems it is possible on other chassis. I have seen cantilever suspensions on cars but nothing like this. This seems more of an anti-dive suspension versus an anti-roll suspension. Last picture is from the same company but for the rear. That is what I'm more use to seeing.

Comments? Thoughts?

An inboard suspension is not inherently 'better' than an outboard suspension, but it often allows for more advantageous packaging. Both of these front and rear packages are relatively conventional. Having the damper oriented longitudinally in the chassis (as opposed to the rear which is laterally) has no influence on the "anti's" in the car. That is a product of chassis wishbone mount location.

I will say that there are several finer points of these layouts which would suggest the designer hasn't spent enough time with a rocker-based suspension to be drawing up one from scratch. It's too clever in some places and not clever enough in others.
