How do you measure the air gap at the top?

shocks compressed no springs?

shocks not compressed with springs?

100mm for sonic springs?

Ya know, you can always email the vendor and get it straight from the horses mouth. Or read the instructions.  :icon_mrgreen:

Anywho, Adidasguy has it right. Use 115mm for the oil level, but remember you're measuring from the top of the tube down to the oil, so you're actually measuring the air gap. Shoot me a PM or email if something's not clear.
