While I get your logic..... it's like spending a dime to save a nickel.

Personally..... Even w/a 4-bar, you would have needed the shocks mounted so they could pivot side to side. Not that big of a deal IMO & the shocks still function @ less than the OE engineered angles (I set them up to be @ less than the OE angle they just pivot differently). Mine have about >3/8" of side shift total over approx ~4" of height change from ride height to fully compressed. I just set them so that @ full drop, they don't interfere w/anything or bind (worst case scenario).

Fab on . . .....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
