Most people start at 23in eye to eye, and adjust from there if needed. Which is about 3/8in longer than stock.

x2 with 23" eye to eye...teraflex suggests adjusting them at different lengths...but just my personal experience, I found it never handled well set to different lengths and re-adjusted them to equal lengths (enough for me to have +5.5 castor)

Mine appear to be just a tad (1/16-3/16) over 23", but the drivers side is about 1/8" longer. It is very difficult to get an accurate measurement with them installed at dusk. I will try measuring more accurately this weekend. 23" is certainly a good starting point.
