I can see how that would be useful if the car wasn't as stiff as they are today, and in the distant past it was easy to tweak a chassis, but is it really worth it today?
I believe the body should add downforce, and protection.
Loose & floating is best.
This way the chassis won't have an Extra spring, and the car will be more forgiving when grazing dots, barriers or anything else we bump into.
