Rear Suspension Mod

I know a lot of people have been pondering ways to improve the handling of our cars, but this video completely blew me away. I've never seen this kind of set up in a street car before.

Push-rod suspension, FTW!
Looks like it could be of a kit.

It's amazes me how small the springs can be on coil-overs.
And this guy can adjust his shock stiffness and rear ride height while at a stop light.

Not good if you have to go shopping at IKEA.

Not really sure if this could be a kit. If you look at the rest of his videos he fabricates everything else on the car including an amazing looking front end. Anybody got a link to the other thread this was posted in? I'd really like to see how hard it would be to fabricate something similar.

This is not a kit. If you look at the original Youtube link, the only comment he makes is a response to someone asking if it was fabricated or not. He simply states "自作です。", which means it's "self made".

Wow. Impressive.
