ref elvo`s car theory:
An angled link makes it feel as if the car has a tendency to center itself (level, no roll), other than through the springs or anti-roll bar.
It gives a little more initial grip, steering into corners. It makes it very easy to 'throw' the car.
The body rolls a little less than with parallel links.
On bumpy tracks, it could be possible to use softer settings for damping and spring rate than with parallel links, without destabilising the car.
Wouldnt this be better than putting the rear link higher up?

I tend to run them high as the car has very good rear traction as it is so I don't always want the max rear grip.
On lose tracks I do turn them over though.
