Match the manufacturer part number TAS140 and all listed restrictions to the vehicle. Use the instructions supplied with the exact kit. The catalogue lowering figures depend on the original suspension; a factory-lowered car may show a different additional drop.
Read the SPAX Adjustable range handbook. This is general range guidance; check the instructions supplied for your part.
