Purpose of Inboard Suspension: “The main advantages of a push/pull-rod suspension system on a track-focused race car have to do primarily with the ability to move suspension components closer to the ground, lower the chassis of the vehicle, and lower the centre of gravity to improve efficiency in cornering, body-roll, and high-speed stability”(Wikipedia). Additionally it allows for packaging of the suspension to be smaller than other systems.
