My main "concern", and the point of the post is moving the coilovers from behind the rear end to in front of the housing.... 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.... But then my version of "street" is probably a bit different from most!!!!!!!!
I'll mull over the arc of travel for now. I guess with 5 inch travel you may get away with it! How about a staggered shock arrangement? 1 in front and 1 to the rear of the axle. If I remember right, back in the early 70's the big 3 (Don't remember who did it first) figured out that staggering the shocks was a great (CHEAP) way to control wrap-up and axle torque. Even if it didn't work that great in the maro - it would be different!
