He missed all the really pertinate points::

a) does the front hub have the suspension pick up points "point" at the center of the contact patch ?
b) what is the roll center {front and rear} ?
c) what is the roll axis inclination ?
d) what is the roll stiffness {front and rear}?
f) does the read hub create positive toe-in durring braking ?
g) as one lowers the car what happens to the roll center {front and rear} ? roll axis inclination ?
h) does spring "geometry" change as the car takes a set in roll ?
