I never would have been able to envision what you were talking about without those pictures. It seems like it would be a lot of fabrication, but I can't see why it would not work. Doing all the calculations or getting the geometry to work the way you want inexpensively seems complicated. (And certainly a no-go for my SLC convertible. I should just replace my shocks and maybe use some spring pads or find stiffer springs, wondering if W126 springs would be stiffer and fit. I assume they'd fit since they use the same control arms as SLCs.)

So back to your "shocks through the tower" concept...
- When you bolt the top of a shock to the body of the car, it is fixed. It seems this setup requires additional travel through the top of the shock tower with taller shocks.
- In order to have the shock travel through the top, do you drill out the body somehow allowing the rod to all fit through the body? And not use the washer I guess.

Interesting.
