	We must be talking about two different things.  I was referring to
a simple, basically free modification to optimize the factory set up, not
redesign the rear suspension.  Theories aside, it made a real diffence in
the handling attitude of my car...for a minimal investment.  The bar is
not as angled as you say, maybe 10 degrees from horizontal or less.

... high on the list.  Still, if the sparks you saw were really coming
from the panhard rod, then I suspect the car was lowered waayyyy too much for optimal

	The bar was spraying sparks because it had BENT IN HALF due to
the cornering forces...signaling that in needed some serious
reinforcement.
