Whats the application that is causing the required high rate? If its not a very long travel I would think you could go down to a much shorter arm. Ive seen guys running 6" arms pretty easily if the geometry is correct. Good luck on the continued search!
It's an aftermarket front x-member w/bag or coil-over dropped application. The 'long arm' requirement is simply the distance between the bar C/L & the mounting spot @ the control arm. I'm investigating location possibilities now to see if I can move things closer which would allow for shorter arms.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
