6 to 10 mm
fit the coils then measure the panhard length.
you can drive it ok with standard length panhards if you wanna be extra cheap :D

There isnt an actual measurement as EVERY vehicle VARIES :roll:

Spring rates - different etc etc.

Now.. try this...

Install your 4 inch lift. and leave the stock panhard in place whilst installing..

THEN once installed.. remove one of the panhard bolts and remove that end..

ROCK the car a bit to make sure that the springs have settled.

Measure the amount you need to extend your panhard.

Cut and lengthen the panhard.

REFIT.

Pretty simple?? unless you're lookin into harder options :roll:

The vehicle SHOULD be drivable on standard panhard = tyre will stick out an inch to drivers side. Shouldnt be a problem if you're already lifted - no rubbing to take vehicle to and from workshop if you're planning on that.

Cheers and good luck
