I purchased adjustable panhards as I was expecting the axles to be slightly protruding out the RHS, however with the 50mm lift installed they are still around 3mm out to the left with the standard panhards.
Are the axles perhaps out to the LHS by standard?
Mine was noticeably out to the left on the front without the adjustable panhard. I don't remember which way it went on the rear, the springs are quite soft and I was able to pull the body across to line up the stock panhard, I later fitted a bracket to raise the mounting point.
Just an update.
I installed a 17mm aluminium spacer to the rear RHS (while I'm waiting for the delivery from JB). This evened out the car quite well and it could have even been a 20mm spacer.
Once I had done this I then measured from the inner lip on the wheel to the chassis on the front and back axle.
The rear was 6mm to the left and the front was 10mm.
I then measured the minimum length of the rear adjustable panhard and found that it would be just short(long) enough for the rear.
The front adjustable panhard was not an issue.
Installing the front adjustable panhard corrected my steering revolutions left and right (it was out by 1/2 a turn).

It depends on if you plan to use it off road.

There will definitely be use offroad. Nothing too crazy though.
I'm glad I didn't buy them for nothing. Initially it appeared that the axles were still centre after the lift...
