Because of the R1 and chain diff, I will have a very narrow rear chassis and very long wishbones:

with such long wishbones you may find it rolling a lot, which would have a greater effect on camber due to the parallel bones. You would need to make the car quite stiff in roll, either by springs or ARBs. Worth bearing in mind as you continue modelling it!

You might find you have a falling spring rate as it is now

The shocks have "air springs" so just put more air in via the onboard compressor will stiffen them up.
Ride height can be adjusted by the pushrods from the lower wishbone.
The bottom bone will be around 500-550 long.
Camber gain is at a minimum for this set up as I will be able to move the wishbones 3" downwards with minimal gain.
