golden rule seems to be equal length rods (i.e. parallel)
If not, the arc done by the top rod will be different than the arc done on the bottom one (the bottom one being larger as u describe it), therefore
rotating the axle in droop or compression, therefore really bad handling...

Spot on, if your careful with your measurements you could use this to your advantage in order to induce some rear wheel steering or more negative
camber/toe in or all 3! But when I looked at it, it involved alot of sums and I'm lazy like that so we just kept them parallel. Oli.
Are you running bushes or rose joints? If bushes you might find they bind a bit as well.
If your not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room!
