Adjustable panhard bar

I lowered my GTA yesterday,and am installing an adjustable panhard bar,and I was wondering if someone might have a starting point I could use to set the length....

I installed Jamex springs.They are suppose to lower it about 1 1/2".............

Actually I would start with the stock PHB in place first. Take measurements on both sides from the fender lip to the rim. Install the lowering springs. Then re-check the dimensions. That will tell you IF you need an adjustable PHB (I didn't) and how much it will take to center the rear end. In my case after the installation of the Eibach Pro-Kit springs there was less than 1/16" difference side-to-side. Not enough IMO to justify the added expense of an adjustable PHB. Good luck with the swap. Lon
