There is a strut suspension for sale now and a double a arm suspension in the works. A search over at http://amccars.net/cgi/yabb2/YaBB.pl should find them.
I took a different route and built my own upper arms that use a coilover and a 70 and later spindle/ball joint. I got rid of the trunnion and picked up caster. I also redid the lower arm with a modified johnny joint instead of the bushing and redid the strut rods to get rid of the rubber bushing. No road tests yet though.
