There is a shit load of work involved, and i dont think it can be made in kit form, as there is so much work needed to be done to the Chassis.
Wheel alligned today, all good, i'm running 1.3 deg neg on the rear and about .5 deg of toe in. Front is set to 3.5 neg and 4deg of caster and 2mm toe in. This is all for my base setting, as i need to get it onto the track and see what it handles like. I think that my rear springs may be a bit firm.

I have finished the rear IRS, and it is booked for a wheel allignment on Thursday.
Every think went to plan, i have about 130-150mm of travel and a great ride hight. All the arms are adjustable and the wheels clear the guards nicely. I still have to work out the hand brake, but that will be after the Nationals. I had to change the rear yoke on the tailshaft, the length was spot on. I'll try to get some finished photos up tomorrow.
I also swaped my front brake setup to my new Ally hubs with 280mm disks and S6 4 spot brakes with 5 stud to match the rear.

I tip my hat to you sir, you have most definitely thought outside of the square to resolve some of the issues.

Some current photos.
The top photo shows the new curved top arms, and the adaptor bracket thet mounts the coil-over the the original s14 shock mount. I have made it with a pillow ball in it to allow for the angle deflecton with suspention travel. The s14 rear top arm normally is in front of the strut, but i have gone around the rear to give more clearance.
The second photo shows the ally coil-over adapter.
Third photo is the new arms i have made, they will have rod ends in the ends when they finally arrive.
The last shot is the upper mount, i have used part of our adjustable camber tops and recessed them into the tray. They are only tacked in at the moment, and i still have to make the support bracing to strengthen the mounting pionts.
The ride hight will be nice and low, i have a couple of sets of new wheels (5 stud) 15 inch for my track tyres 195/50/15 and 16 inch for road tyres 205/40/16. It works out that the outside diameter is the same, so there will be no clearance issues.
