Watch out as likely to fall fouol of the rules
A team had flexing parts but they were banned as they were deemed to be "movable aerodynamic devices".
If you kept the flex out of the airstream then I reckon you might get awy with it ... BUT .... what is the advantage ? How woudl the flex alter the suspension geometry and how woudl you control flex caused by torsion and flex by compression ? Too many difficulties I think ..... hence why springs have lasted 100 years
