How do you adjust the ride height, rebound and compression for a 2001 ACR? I know that they use different shocks than the earlier ACRs. I looked in the owners manual, but there is nothing there. Is there an ACR addendum/insert that I should have received?
What should the settings be from the factory? What are the ideal setings for aggressive street and track?
thanks!

Yes, there is an addendum that tells you to start the shocks off at 12 clicks out (from max.) compression (lower part of the shock), 24 clicks out (from max.) rebound (upper part of the shock). Make sure you write everything down. Also, don't assume the car came from the factory set up like it should've been.

All of my shocks (on my 2001 ACR) had 15 available clicks of compression, but my rebound varied from 34 to 43 clicks available. Clicking clockwise (into the shock) gets you to the maximum, so click clockwise until it won't click anymore and then back out the desired clicks.
