Default EG with Cantilever suspension
I posted this a while ago in the welding/fab seciton, but figured I'd post it here too since I took some better pics. This is my 92 hatch with Cantilever suspension. I used 2004 CBR 600RR rear shocks, total cost was about $250, built at home in my garage. Its a little stiff for the street but handles crazy.

In place of the spring/strut there's a rod that attaches to the same place the suspension would. That rod goes up through the tower and connects to the coilover/swivel system in the trunk of the car now. Kind of works the same way except now there's just a rod in the fender-wells. Keeps expensive coilover systems clean and free of rust. The reinforcement required stiffens up the rear end.

Easier said than done.

I'm kind of just taking a swing at describing it.
