Personally I would buy good quality adjustable panhard rods to get it spot on rather than whatever the brackets are fixed at for the car and lift kit they were designed for to give some more accuracy.

The Panhard rod always needs to be as horizontal as possible. when on a 2-3" suspension lift the angle gets a bit too steep, and this is not fixed with an adjustable rod. This is only to get the wheels under the body again.

I'd imagine if it were that important the specialist suppliers who know about all this stuff would sell brackets as part of their kits and no one seems to have any issues without them, but I suppose to have the ideal would be to have both brackets and adjustable rods!

On a standard Jimny (or any other 4x4 with panhard rods) both rods are completely horizontal. Meaning that Suzuki took the time to mount brackets on the chassis, not just mounted the panhards somewhere directly to the chassis.
Also, if looking a devon4x4.com or difflock.com in their projects forums, you'll see that all the pro builders of buggies, trayback etc. make new brackets for panhards, so they again are horizontal.
