Haven't seen people use the strange shocks for corner driving.
Rear spring rate can vary a bit between cars, hp and tyre choice, seen anywere between 250pds to 350pds been used.
250-300 prob a start point, making sure the rear end is as free as can be in articulation greatly affects the rate and how it drives on the track

For the circuit/track sort of drivng, DMS, MCA(Murray Coote) or proflex.
Depends how fast you want to go.
3/4 rose joints are a bit overkill but won't hurt it.
Just checking the original upper arms are disconnected or have been made useless.
With a 3 link you will prob want a 300-350pd spring in rear to start with, iv played with that sort of setup on my car, the off the shelf spring rates, when used in a 3 link were all wrong, made I big difference to car.
Next step for me was going to be change shocks to a good quality coilover.
You want the rear roll centre about 100mm higher than front to start with.
AND have to watch the diff housing, with a 3 link, due to loading, they need to be braces as I can bend the housing.
When it's setup, works great tho.

You may have to resize them if they're too big?

Thank God for that, I thought my eyes had gone...

 

Definitely looks like a setup I'd like to see more of (or more clearly) though?

Looks like your camera had a few beers before taking that.

I like FAB work, nice.
Should notice a big difference how the rear squats too, instead of lifting the rear up(standard rear) under power it pushes the rear down, gets a bit more weight transfer.
