so im building my rear control arms with the exception of the panhard or use of these(see attached)? they are a pair of rear camber arms that are adjustable; set to even, i have 7.5" eyelet to eyelet. with 1"-1.25" adjustability either way, can these be used in addition to my control arms as more of an adjustable pair of 4 links or dual panhard set up? my suspension travel with have about a max of maybe 6" movement(airbags). so simple question is can i use 2 small adj camber arms of 8"+- with my just standard control arms(home version of pictured) of maybe 24" max still havent fully set those to length yet.

maybe a tad confusing on the typing but brand new stuff laying around from the honda days. may as well put them to use. let me know, thanks.

The G body cars,like El Camino,Monte Carlo, Malibu from the early eighties have that set up, the arms are not that long on them,also your upper ones might be a bit shorter then on those cars.Other then that cant see why it wouldnt work when the factories do them like that.Can you get a bit longer centre piece or cut them in half and lengthen them a few inches?If you google those cars for tubular rear control arms you can probably get some dimensions to compare to what your doing.
 
i could possibly get some new dom tube lengths and rethread them for both ends...but i may play with what they are at now. hopefully it will just fit right in.
 
How are planning on using them? Here are a couple of basic setups. I put trailing arms and a panhard bar on mine, I had to put a heim joint on the frame end of the bar because of the "arc" of the rear end travel twisted my bar as the rear traveled up and down.
