I'm not sure if anyone else makes them this way, but the Lateral Dynamics 3-link that a few cars here ran angled the LCA's inward as they went forward. I'm not sure if I've ever known what the reason for that was...

Technically they are considered parallel lower links, but they are a smidge (1/8" each side) narrower in the front. This is to insure the outside lower link is never pushing the rear end towards the outside of the corner, under acceleration.
