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 cou nterclockwise 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: 514in. (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.

• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start
anytime the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position. You can be hurt by the fan.
• Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or clothing. Do not lean over a battery when attaching clamps or allow the
clamps to touch each other. If acid splashes in your eyes or on skin, flush the
contaminated area immediately w ith large quantities of water.
• A battery generates hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep flames or sparks away from the battery vent holes. Don’t lean over the battery when
attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other.
• If the vehicle has a discharged battery, booster cables may be used to obtain a start from another vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if done improperly, so
follow this procedure carefully.
• Do not use a booster battery or any other booster source with an output that exceeds 12-volts (i.e., do not use a 24-volt power source).
• The battery is located underneath an acce ss panel inside the rear compartment on the
left side of the vehicle. A remote batt ery terminal is located in the engine
compartment for jump-starting.
• Remove all metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, which might make an unintended electrical contact.
WARNING!
Do not permit vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could result.
• Park the booster vehicle within cable reach but without letting the vehicles touch. Set the parking brake on both vehicles, shif t the transmissioninto NEUTRAL, and turn the
ignition to LOCK.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical loads.
