Coil over VS 5" sping an external shock?

Personally, I don't think I'd go that route on a performance build. Ideally, you want the shock pushing directly against the spring (concentric). With that offset mount, you will be inducing some twist into the lower arm as the shock tries to resist the spring motion. Depending on the arm design, this may not be a huge deal, but we spend a lot of effort in getting all the compliance out of the suspension, and in that case the shock is definitely not directly counteracting the load.

Looks cool, though...
