Rear shock crossmember. What would you do?

I just noticed that the first pic is a little deceiving. It would appear in that pic that you may have interference between the spring and the framerail if you recessed the coilover mount deeper into the trunk as would be the case with the DSE style crossmember. When I just now noticed that I initially thought I answered my own question .

I do think the Quadralink has the shocks mounted more in-board and in vertical position.

Here is another G-link pic that isn't so deceiving. It also happens to be of a Fab9 setup which will illustrate the exhaust routing challenge I'm dealing with.

Here is another pic of Joe's modified brackets to make the general idea clearer. Unlike me he was smart enough to realize this and account for it before installing it...

John,
3" is a big tube to route out the back but it's still possible. Yes, it's a little more work with the FAB9™ but if you have a talented exhaust guy it shouldn't be too much of an issue. If you need more room, raising the crossmember is an option. That will lower the car but you will be able to compensate with the adjustable lower shock mounts.

Here's a Camaro with the exhaust run out over the top of a 12-bolt. I can't seem to dig up the FAB9™ equipped car.
