I'm still questioning why I didn't just leave the parallel leaf springs and keep it simple.
oh, I feel ya there. I've lost almost the entire space behind the bucket seats just to fit suspension in. Alternatively, I could have made my car 18" off the ground and fit everything, but that wouldn't be cool. Considered a ladder bar setup. Someone else suggested a Watts link. Parallel 4 link was impossible as the upper links would end up right where the seats are.
