I already have double adjustable Viking shocks on the rear, and some extra split mono rear segments from experimenting with ride height. Adding coil overs would just be unnecessary expense and work.
I'm trying to relocate the instant center, in that setup the IC would still be the spring eye not the ladder bar eye. Only thing the ladder bars would do is act as a slapper bar, which probably worked



Ok...now I see what your getting at. You want to change the IC. Do you want it higher or lower? IIRC, once the ladder bar is in it becomes the de facto IC and the springs just hold the car up. The way I see it, you can just use the full split mono and a housing floater with a slider in the rear and get after it.


Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
