That appears to be a "Watts link". A Z bar is actually designed to work with a swing arm suspension (as I remember...I've not looked at one in years) and it something completely different.

The PHB on our cars works well enough that nobody seems to be interested in developing a watts link for them and it's not really needed in 99% of the cases. Since the Mustang suspension usually gets completely converted (to an F-body style suspension) it needs a PHB or a Watts link. And, if you are doing the fabricating, you may as well build the Watts link for it (or that seems to be the prevailing thought process). That's just my guess.
