It would not work. That is the reason why I didn't use their panhard option with the 4 link. I suppose the idea of 4 link + panhard may have been to try to help limit whatever deflection is in the bushings, but even then the panhard (or even a watts) still seems like it would be bind city! Plus with a light car it seems the deflection on the 4 link has to be pretty minimal.

Something like a 3 or 4 link (not triangulated) with heims or poly bushings + panhard seems like it would be nice simple, non-binding, and reliable config. Well, heims may not be the most reliably but given the millage these cars see it might.

Yeah, something like even a stock s197 rear geometry seems like it would be pretty good.
