The SD1 suspension works pretty well for what it is. Didn't need much
in the way of modification for the considerable success the car had in
racing and rallying.

how is that relevant?

Becuase the strut front suspension is as basic as you can get.

nonsense. I can only conclude you're not familiar with microcars.

I'm not familiar with pedal cars either.
