when you said parallel I, as Im sure others as well, thought of a parallel 4 bar as compared to a triangulated 4 bar, making your claims completely confusing.

but if you build your links with correct geometry in them then all the props to you and your company.

although I do agree that tri4 links should be limited to the street, when built with proper geometry they do work very well. I went well over 100mph at this past Dallas Goodguys event in my truck and it handled like a dream. Would it work that well on an autocross? not as well as a parallel link with a watts/mumford/panhard but for the packaging advantages it offers it solves many problems and shouldn't be counted out. IMO of course.
