"A" and "G" body Chevelles and Malibus are the most common with this setup but are far from ideal. With such short upper links, they bind with minimal movement and induce roll steer. The design is poor. Ideally you want the arms as long as possible to prevent roll steer, jonny joints to prevent binding in the diagonal arms, the arms spread apart on the rear for better load distribution, and the diagonals to be under the rear end to lower the roll center. I am no expert, but have learned a few things while desgining a road race suspension for my 68 Camaro. A good beginners book to read is Herb Adams "Chassis Engineering".
