Ok, Photobucket has stoped working for me at the moment, and it is getting late for me, so I am going to call it quits for tonight. I will work on the rest of the writeup tomorrow when I get home from work. Hopefully you can see where this is going and it is giving you some ideas.

Thanks,

Awesome work and awesome timing man, I was just thinking about doing this myself too!

I like your mounting positions, it looks to clear the exhaust better, plus with panhards the longer the bar the better off you are.

I was wondering about this, but there is a good reason for why to mount it on the right, it's explained in your link.

Frame Mount Location
A panhard bar that is attached to the right side of the frame lowers during chassis roll. However, a panhard bar that is attached to the left side of the frame raises during chassis roll. However, the effects on handling of a right side versus a left side frame mounting are not always predictable. The location of the panhard's axle mount can counteract any predictable handling effects. The current tendency is to mount the panhard to the left side of the dirt car chassis and to the right side of asphalt chassis.

I was thinking the same... but i still have to understand more how this works...

Ideally but the angle would change more radically because of the use of a shorter bar. For the downfalls of our chassis the main benefit is to reduce the roll couple without exerting to aggressive of a force on the axle. A short bar would unload the opposite wheel harder due to the angle that the shorter bar has to travel. Longer is more important than it being centrally located (the reduction of the travel angle has more benefit in stability than the car turning slightly better in one side than the other as with the longer bar the car is overall more stable) I can't wait to see the outcome.
