IMPORTANT:
PLACE CIRCLIP IN APPROPRIATE GROOVE TO ADJUST RIDE HEIGHT (B8 5100 ONLY).
Use appropriate tools to move the circlip. Ensure that the circlip is fully seated in the groove after moving it (you should
be able to rotate it manually in the groove). Install the spring seat adapter in the direction shown only. The circlip must fit
completely in the groove inside the spring seat adapter (DETAIL A). Improper installation will cause permanent
damage to the shock!
