    Not really recomended... If the car comes up high enough, it will push up on the back of the body and unload the rear suspension. Best to use the brackets and wheelie bars that attach both bars to the rear end housing.

    No, the wheelie bars would not bind the up and down movement of the suspension. Im not even sure the Coupe will pull wheelies, but the bars would be a nice precaution just in case it does.

    Heres a old pic of the rear. The red dots indicate where the links would hook up.

    If they are ridgid (not split at the end ) how is the suspension going to work??
    I looks like you want the bottom on the dif. and top on frame. You have to have a way for things to move. Guess I don't understand..
