I have been kicking around the same idea on a 911, but wasn't sure how feasible it would be. One of the things I considered was the effects of raising the rear without the front. I'm sure as you know you will raise the roll center in back while leaving the center of gravity in the same place reducing body roll(thats the whole point right?) the problem would be your not going to get the same effect in front causing the car to dive on the front wheel when cornering, you may have trouble getting the back end to bite coming out of a turn. Another problem would be locating the cars CG, I cant even imagine the nightmare of moving the rear roll center above the cg(theoretical). You might also run into problems with having to change the dynamic camber changes during suspension travel, if you did acheive a zero roll rear end I cant imagine you needing any camber change. Anyway if you do it please keep us updated, I would absolutely love to see pictures and hear the results. good luck
