I believe the DS put up quite a good show rallying.

The GS units look very usable on the roadster, they have a 117mm travel, and the front and rear units are the same (different static pressures though).

Biggest problem with the DS suspension was taking a humpback bridge at speed. Fantastic suspension tried to compensate for the wheels being too low just after takeoff, so it raises them. Brilliant, no suspension just when you land. One sickening crash, feel like your spine has compressed, then all is serene and smooth as it pumps back up. (Just dont tell Dad, twas in his car).

Torsion bars? Whats wrong with them. The Marina used them to great effect. Didn't it!
