Rebound Adjustment
• The rebound adjustment (also called droop)
varies the damping of the downward travel
of the wheel relative to the vehicle.
• The rebound adjuster is located on top of
the piston rod and has 19 damping
positions. Depending on vehicle ride height,
the car may need to be raised to gain access
to the rebound adjuster. To adjust the
rebound damping, turn the upper finger
knob: clockwise stiffens; counterclockwise
softens when viewed from above.
• All settings are referenced from the full stiff
(position “0”). The “0” position on rebound
is achieved by turning the finger knob
clockwise until you cannot turn it any further.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your dampers DO NOT force the finger knob when it stops turning.
Also, NEVER use any tools to adjust the finger knob.
• From the “0” position, turning the adjuster counterclockwise will soften the damping.
Every “click” is a new damping position (i.e. two clicks softer from the full stiff
position is position “2”).
Street Set Up
• Best Comfort is achieved at the following damper settings and should always be used
when driving on the street:
Front Compression Position “13”
Front Rebound Position “18”
Rear Compression Position “13”
Rear Rebound Position “17”
Ride Height Adjustment
• The factory ride height of your ACR is approximately:
Front: 5 1
4
in. (132 mm)
Rear: 6 in. (153 mm)
• Measured from the bottom of frame rail to ground at the axle centerline with no
passengers, a full tank of fuel and tire pressures set to 29 psi.
• A low ride height setting may not be optimal at all tracks. It will generally be more
acceptable to run a lower ride height at a track with smoother surfaces, fewer abrupt
elevation changes and fewer bumps. The optimum set up for your vehicle also varies
with track, driver and ambient conditions. Below is a recommended starting point for
two typical track configurations.
