Default Wheelie bars

Trying to figure out what wheelie bar configuration to run on our ultra short 85 CRX.

Because of the minimum wheel height I was thinking of making the wheelie bars stick out so the wheels where at double the wheelbase so 1" of sag = 2" of movement to meet height requirements while allowing minimul rear suspension travel. This makes for very long wheelie bars so I've also been toying with the geometry so I can have relatively short wheelie bars and have them drop 3+inches with only 1" of suspension travel. The issue with this is that they will hit the ground very hard and possibly work against me. ????

I'm game for anyones experience with wheelie bars.

Car will be K-series turbo with dreams of 160-170mph trap speeds in the far future, just in case that matters.

The bars are just extending the wheel base of the car. The longer the better, and there is a rule on length, so...
