Just saw this article on Corvette Transverse Leaf Springs. The web page came up in a search for something else but it looked interesting so I read it. Not being a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination I have no clue exactly what it all meant, but I did wonder if anything like this could be adapted to any of our "eco-mobiles". Looks like they were stock on early model Corvettes possibly starting in '81. I'm sure there must be some out there in the local pick-and-pulls.
Thoughts?
