Would it be possible to replace the leafs with a pushrod style suspension on a C6 with MSRC shocks? Been thinking about it for a while and it does seem possible, just complex. Any ideas?

I've been toying with the same idea of a push rod suspension on the rear of a C5.
May still do it this winter.

I thought the same thing a few years back when I first got my c5 in '04. Mine being a street car it is not practical, but on a race car those beefy framerails sure lend themselves well to mounting some pushrod activated coilover dampers. Not only will they be stupid easy to adjust, but the rocker can be machined with a ratio to take full advantage of the syspension cycle. One can even machine multiple ratio rockers as well as an adjustable rocker if desired.
