porsche powered mid-engine double cab
jmd,
The rocker arm suspension does a few things in my build, packaging constraints and the rocker itself has a 1.5 to 1 ratio to extend the Bilstein coil-over travel from 4" to 6".
I have ran 944 steel arms in a earlier version of the d.c.with the shocks mounted to the stock truck location, barely works for a shock and no way with a coil-over, so needs relocating.
Seth the fabricator can build anything, so location was based on keeping the new "trunk" clear and working with the existing structure for strength.
The shocks are gas filled so they can be oriented in any position.
Most race open wheel race cars have rocker suspension for aero reasons and weight location, both c.g. and unsprung.
