If a panhard rod is 95% perfect the other systems are 97-8% perfect nothing is 100%....on a road car you wont notice any real improvement (nor is there any real advantage converting to fully independent rear axle on a "7" style road car)....track cars are a different matter, if they are solely track cars and they are built for that purpose with no compromise. (in which case they are usually lousy for normal road use)
There is a lot of hassle and complication in fitting alternative systems and they have very little advantage over a properly located panhard rod. Make it as wide as possible and as as low on the car as possible.





sometimes you are the pigeon, most of the time the statue.
