On a quarter eliptical, what is the purpose of running BOTH a panhard a swatbar on the rear (of course)?

Thanks /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonono.gif
 
A swaybar controls body lean but trying to equalize the force on one corner by transfering some of that force through the swaybar to the other corner. A panhard bar stops sideways movement of the entire rear axle from cornering forces. For a street car neither are required, except for a panhard bar if you are running oversize tires on a square arch car.
