Here is an example.
Thanks!

When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Coil rod vs. Rebar
I'm assuming you have a threaded anchor embeded in the wall panel. If so, it's about keeping the threads clean. Coil rod doesn't mind a bit of grit in the threaded anchor. It's also usually cheaper than threaded rod and most precasters will have more of it than they will threaded rod.
That said, if you're using epoxy or grout to set the rod then I'd agree that rebar is easier and better than coil rod.
