I want to model a King Tiger with workable suspension. Wasn't there some discussion as to how to model the Tamiya kit?

The Tamiya T-55, IIRC, has fixed suspension, not that it would be hard to articulate.

The Pershing suspension works fine for me. Actually the kit has the option to make it fixed, as you have to cut off the pins that lock the torsion bars in place to make it workable. After my kits are built they just sit on a shelf or in a box anyway for the most part so even if they are fragile they don't get broken. Speaking of fragile, I dont think working suspension arms are any worse than having little photo-etched doo dads sticking out all over :-p
