I'm only considering it Masterbeatty, I'm not sold on the idea. I was thinking a good set of Hypermax shocks would be fine but was thinking of other possibilities. Sometimes it's easier to see if anyone has blazed the path.

I've seen the cantilever setup done on sand rails and they do look awesome... but I want functionality more than looks. This is what I dug up from an older post on an RX7 forum:

1. Reduce unsprung mass.
2. Easier to adjust/tune (ride height, shock rates, spring rates and motion ratio can all be changed without tearing the entire rear end of the car apart)
3. Weight placement in the center of the car and possibly lower than standard.
4. Easier to run massive tires. (Great reason. More mechanical grip!)
5. Wow factor (not good enough for me)
