Default Setting an adjustable Panhard bar?

What is the best setting on a fully adjustable PHB with eibach prokit, bilsteins, and 17x11 zr1s w/315s?

You'd have to play with it until your car is right. Each car is different, even if only by a millimeter or two.

It takes a while measuring on each side until its perfect.

The goal is to get the rear wheels to track on top of the front wheels.

On my driveway, I sprayed a small section of water on the concrete. It doesn't take much, just enough to get the tread of the tire wet and leave a pattern on the dry part of the driveway.

I rolled the car through the wet spot and looked at the tread pattern left by the water on the tires.

I measured the offset (front vs rear), divided it in 1/2 and adjusted the PHB to the appropriate length.

It might take you a couple of tries, but it certainly gets it spot on ....
