I have driven a car (savana enduro) that had the panhard to low. It would not turn in. So I know it is possible to go to low with the roll center on the rear. The suspension modeling I have done shows promise.

From my observations over the last 10 years at SCCA National/Regional races looking at Production & Improved Touring road race cars there are way more Panhard Bar cars than Watts link cars. The Panhard is cost effective, simpler, lighter, adjustable & it works.

I have some of the parts needed from the panhard rod conversion. We are still fine tuning production of headers (I need to solve problems I had with the previous fabricator)
