If you take a look at my two shimmable blocks you can see that you can actually make what you want very light. This suspension is not much heavier than an associated front. You waste some weight bridging the center of the car which is not really needed from a strength standpoint.

Its the roll center change I'm afraid of, maybe its worth trying to do it with the springs first before I waste time and material making a seperate mounting plate.
I'll post update pictures as I advance in the design.
