Whoa, I like! Would most likely need engineering?? Unless the maker already has and is selling it as a made up kit??

yeah, totally wrong angles, shock will barely be working on the first half of it`s stroke, would need a shock way shorter & mounted with far less angle for it to even be close to the mark

Darren Duffield has this type of set up on his red sports sedan (Allan McConnel`ls old hillclimb mini) but it`s a far far better angle & shock length etc & works quite well.

It is funny how one of the greatest suspension designers comes up with a suspension system that modern designers still admire and some bloke thinks he can grab a welder and improve it. :roll:
