In order to move the passengers forward, one could split the torsion tubes apart, use the lower one only, with a-arms for the upper suspension members. For proper camber control the upper arm pivots would need to be "active", (rotate on an eccentric shaft during vertical wheel travel). For best aero, your "wheel level" body sides should be generally straight from front to back in your plan view, at least from the aerodynamics expert I was using for my X-Car.
