It is my understanding that its been the front strut, rather than the rear-engine, (and to a lesser extent, the steel chassis) that has been the reason the RSR has fallen behind its competitors. The Cayman uses struts on the front AND rear, so it has not been a usable platform. If the front can be switched to wishbone, then it stands to reason the rear can as well. If I understand the homologation process, then there would have to be a street Cayman with the front and rear wishbones, and I doubt that is part of Porsche's business model.
