    When they're taling angle of the coilover, they are more then likely talking about the angle as viewed from the rear, not from the side!!!!

    I don't like panhard bars at all..... By design they move the rear end from side to side on bumps.... Why not a Watts linkage instead. But if you have to use the Panhard bar, then as Tech emphasized, make it long and the mount points level to minimize the deflection the bar creates. With coilovers and their limited travel it's not really a big problem, I guess. But in theory and application they are totally wrong.....
