Fitting adjustable panhard advice

[spm_steve]

Evening all.

Now I've got the back of my Micra lowered too I'm soon to fit my adjustable panhard to counter the axle shift.
When removing the stock item and refitting, should the suspension be loaded or not? I've tried searching but haven't found anything conclusive...

Also how much should I expect brand new springs (matiz front, alto rear) to lower once bedded in? I'm already thinking a few more cm would be better!

all 4 wheels on a flat level floor and unloaded, check both tyres are equal distance away from the arch lip or chassis rail and then adjust rod till it slots onto the bolt shaft.

Thanks Pollyp its what made sense in my head, good to get confirmation of it.
