    What will be the advantages??

    I don't see an ability to adjust camber or toe??

    I understand the advantage of wanting to have independent rear wheels but unless each wheel is independently adjustable I'm not sure the advantages are worth the effort.

    That being said I'll be interested to hear how it feels and how it compares.

    Should help by allowing each wheel to move more independently of the other than the standard beam, that's why the 1.6 cooper cup cars handle so well

    Rear toe can be adjusted by adjusting the turnbuckles from the rose joint to the beam, still looking at options to adjust camber

    Interesting set up, bit hard to picture quite how it works. Is the beam split in the middle somehow?

    Yes right down the middle of the original beam, should be clearer as work progresses
