I ended up doing a few upgrades to the Cobra that will hopefully help-

1.) Cut out some of the inner fender and re-glassed it to a different shape to clear the 315s. It is barely noticeable in the interior and there's plenty of room behind the seat still. This change allowed me to put the wheelbase back to 90" without rubbing the inside of the tire.

2.) Replaced the adjustment joints on the upper and lower control arms with Rock Jock joints to allow much smoother motion and articulation without the inherent bind of a triangulated 4-link with short arms.

4.) Relocated the LCA brackets on the 9" to correct the incorrect anti-squat geometry. As SaltShaker mentioned, the geometry from A&C is way off. With a normal ride height, the stock config of the LCAs are tilting down towards the front- producing anti-anti-squat! The only way it could try to have somewhat reasonable angles on the LCAs would be if the car ride height was high in the rear (which would also make the driveshaft angle a challenge) and then the UCAs would be incorrect.

Hopefully when I button a few other things up I can take it for a drive to see how it handles.
