These adjustable BAAN links are designed to reduce the visual height of the SUV while retaining its original selectable suspension functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe links are not a fixed-height component. Small changes to the central adjusters allow the stance to be refined after the vehicle has settled, rather than accepting a single predetermined drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCreating the correct wheel-to-arch balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eUsable front range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0–50 mm lower, approximately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eUsable rear range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0–50 mm lower, approximately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA conservative OEM+ setting normally leaves more suspension travel and ground clearance than the maximum position.
