Ciol over in the back i don't think is possible
The day we learn to think

Going to be a lot of fabrication if you want the rear end on coilovers, but it can be done.

A 3 link should be nice for your car as rear suspension is regard, It could have a normal panhard bar or a watts link like the one pictured.
