It lowers the car by approx. 25-55 mm at the front and 25-50 mm at the rear, which sharpens the steering, cuts body roll and closes up the wheel arch gap. The ride height is set on threaded struts, so you can go for a subtle drop or use the full approved range, and change it again later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ST XA adds adjustable rebound damping to the height-adjustable ST platform. ST set the dampers up for this car at the factory, and the 16-click rebound adjuster then lets you make the ride softer for comfort or firmer for tighter body control. Shaped (progressive) springs keep the car comfortable over small bumps while adding support as the suspension compresses. ST is part of the KW automotive group, and the kit is developed and made in Germany using KW engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eST makes 2 versions of the XA kit for the Tesla Model Y, split by drivetrain. Between them they cover the EV, EV Rear-Wheel Drive, Long Range, Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, EV 4WD, EV AWD, EV All-wheel Drive 4WD, EV Perfomance AWD and more. Use the table in the Fitment section to find the right one, then choose it from the drop-down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront lowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 25-55 mm (varies by version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear lowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 25-50 mm (varies by version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stepless, on threaded strut housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum ride height (wheel hub centre to arch edge):\u003c\/strong\u003e front 350 mm, rear 350 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDamping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable rebound, 16 clicks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSprings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shaped progressive springs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrut housings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Galvanised steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproval:\u003c\/strong\u003e Parts certificate (German §19.3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLowering figures are ST's, measured against the standard car.

We recommend a qualified workshop experienced with coilovers. A spring compressor is needed to strip down the original front struts. The original top mounts, bearings and fixings are reused, so check them for wear and replace any that are worn. Set the ride height within the approved range, tighten the suspension bolts with the car's weight on its wheels, and torque everything to the manufacturer's figures. A four-wheel alignment is required once the car is at its final ride height. Re-check the height and alignment after the first few hundred miles, once the springs have settled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fitting instructions and parts certificate for each version can be downloaded from its specification table once you choose your version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dampers arrive on ST's base setting for this car.
