That is exactly what I did on my twin racer years ago, but only used one on the rear.......using 2 would work fine, but most of the available ones have spring rates that are too high.......I'm guessing you want them to have a spring with around 180 Lb's/inch of travel, which is actually about the same that you would need for one only on the front, if you went that way........great for race bikes perhaps not so for a road bike. Using a single coil over shock on the front removes a huge amount of friction in the front........not standard but works really well........I'll be doing this soon on my next project.
