There is a supplement in the car that gives these as starting points.

Ride heights 4″ front 5.5″ rear
Fronts shocks 7 compression 5 rebound
Rear shocks 5 compression 3 rebound

Thanks Mark,
I thought there might be a little more with the guys running them hard on the west coast. What are you seeing for cold and hot air pressure on the tires?

26 Cold 34-36 Hot

Thanks Dan, I heard that you had to run them a little higher because of all the down force and g force. That’s not much different than I run on Hoosiers.

They can go as high as 40 but get real slippery. Dodge recommends 35psi hot for track use, which means a starting point of 25-29psi. For street use they want 35 front and 29 rear. Continuos high speed driving over 100mph 51 psi !

I want to understand more about these setups as i’m sure you and I will be talking in the future about a set.
Do you know if the setups vary between driver ability(damenping and spring rate)?

Always willing to talk about it just give me a call. It is my belief that there is no universal set up that everyone is fastest with so yes driver style and experience will dictate the way the car is set up.

That is what makes the ACR so amazing. It can be adjusted to each driver style and track. I can’t wait to get mine.

Just wondering what the track guys are finding for the suspension settings and the height of car at the track? Got a couple of months till I can get mine out on the track and was looking for a good starting point.

Starting point is in your ACR supplement manual

We have the starting points but what has everyone been finding works the best? I am suspect of the #7 compression and 5 rebound setting. I would expect that to be the opposite?

Too much compression pops the car upwards unsettling it and then the rebound setting at a lower point is then trying to control the chassis. I always have run it just the opposite. As soft as I can on the compression side and stiff enough on the rebound side to control chassis movement.

Does anyone have any input they can share?
