rear suspension?????

Has anyone ever tried a "truck arm suspension" in their effie?? I have been researching alot of different rear suspension set ups and this one really stands out. Nascar mandates this suspension. I know it's based off the late 60's and early 70's chevy light trucks....but it look simple and effective. The way its designed it uses the "truck arms" and the rear axle houseing to form a anti roll bar. But it also gives you a good amount of flex as well. Seeing that I am going to use air bags the mounting points are almost percest for my needs. Just wondering what others think of it?....

Same concept, just uglier stock parts. The "link" setups usually have more built in adjustment points.
