Power Grid swaybar endlinks
I'll check tonight...they're shorter, but I'll measure the full range and post tomorrow.
I'm in the midst of re-setting up my 99Si for my son and me as a track car. so my $ and his is evaporating. The endlinks on that car are less than 3" long front and rear. So, no Powergrid endlinks...we sttled for Aurora rod ends

Front endlinks
Shortest length 11" center to center
I did not measure max length because it is up to the user to decide how much thread he or she wants to expose...obviously there is a minimum. So I took these measurements:
Rod length is 9" tip to tip
Ball joint length to center is 1 3/4" and there are two
If you install 1/2" into each ball joint the longest length is 13 1/2"
As a double check 9" + 1 3/4" + 1 3/4" = 14 1/2" Subtract 1/2" for the amount of threads threaded into each ball joint and we have 13 1/2"
Mine were set about half way, but all are slightly different because the car was corner balanced.
Rear endlinks
Shortest length 8 3/4" center to center
Rod length is 7". If we use the same math above - all four ball joints are identical - then the longest length is 9 1/2"
Hope this isn't confusing. Keep in mind, that the length of the endlinks should be less than stock if the car is lowered...but actual length depends on where the upper attachment is on the non-stock dampers up front. The rear is not dependent upon the strut.
