Back to this "strut rod" thing, it looks a lot like it does the same thing the anti-sway bar on the Manta does.
Is there enough of an advantage to be gained from this thing to make it worth while to try and fab-up a Manta-type anti sway bar on the Kadett or GT instead of the convential one with links? On a suspension with shackles it wouldn't take a lot to use a rod end in place of the bolt in the lower control arm. Then the sway bar coud be connected directly to the rod end, without a link, and you would get both the beneifts of the sway bar and the strut rod.
Just one idea.
