How to adjust ride height with Kleemann lowering Module.

For those who like to do things themselves, here is the way to adjust you rideheight with a Kleemann lowering module.

The module is almost certain attatched to the computer, under the steering column, with Velcro tape.
Rip it of gently, and whit´a cross ( Philips ) screwdriver, remove the endcap of the housing.
With endcap removed there is a potentiometer visible, whitch can be turned with a small flat screwdriver.
By turning the potentiometer clockwise, the suspension will lower, and wise versa.
Start the car, and turn the potentiometer a half turn. Press the suspension level button, next to the gear lever, so that the car raises and falls back down again. Repeat until car is lowered to desired ride height.
If car is lowered exxessive, there might be an alarm from the suspension, so you have to raise the ride height a little.
Fit the endcap again, and attatch the box to the computer again.

I have 305/25/20 on 20x11" fitted on my rear with ET 30 mm. I lowered the car untill i just was able to get my fingers in between the tyre and fender. The car has a nice ride, and no problems has occured until now.
