It seems to be helping the other cars as you can run less rear toe when going straight (say 1.5 deg) for more speed and then when entering a corner the outside rear will compress giving around 3 degrees and helping stability and rear bite.
I did have a quick look at it when my car was having its bi monthly rebuild. The arms etc all fit on well, I just mounted the ball joint via one of the split suspension screws with a longer screw that went through the block and into a spacer and then had a ball joint on top. (You also need to mount the front roll bar to the rear).
Didnt run it as I never liked that type of layout back in the day when we did it before, it always felt a bit weird to me, and it was another thing to get knocked out of line. But it seems pretty easy to try out (Just need to use some spares from your pit box (I used 3x23mm turnbuckles).
I would rather try some DJ pro suspension than this.. need to dig it out of my loft box.
