Nope, the arcs of travel are on different plains...though the Watts linkage has to have heim ends to allow for the minor (1 or 2 degrees) of pinion angle change....With the adjustable front mount points on the upper and lower bars, I should (on paper I can) move the pinion angle to whatever I want...
My main "concern", and the point of the post is moving the coilovers from behind the rear end to in front of the housing.... Trying to make the shock assist in both the hook of the tires, with valving changes on the shock, and the anti-squat on the rear end with the bar angles and spring rates.... It all looks good on paper when I plot it out, should be interesting, at the least, in a real world application..... Mostly I think I'm just tired of the same old conventional rear bar set-up and trying to make it do some other things I might want it to do.... Guess I've just been watching too many of the late model circle burners with their unique coilover and bar placenment and trying to tame some of that down for a street application.... But then my version of "street" is probably a bit different from most!!!!!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
