That's a tough one to answer, I would believe that if you are using something from another type of suspension (torque arm for example) that it would not be legal at Immokalee, I can't say if it would be at other tracks. Four Bar Cars (Chevelles, Buick GN's, Mustangs) are all legal with double adjustable control arms and anti-roll bars and leaf spring cars are legal with slapper bars and cal-tracs and late model (3rd and 4th gen) camaro/firebirds are legal with aftermarket torque arms, anti-roll and double adjustable lower arms.

I have also seen a four bar set up by air ride for the camaro's and don't think that it is legal for any type of stock suspension class.

Intermingling of the parts would have to be ruled on by the tech director at the track. Do you have any pictures of what you are trying to do?
