9.4.3 Setup Guide
The suspension of your Cobra Jet is extremely adjustable. There are two rear
suspension upper link mounting hole positions offered. The vehicle is delivered with the
links installed in the upper position. This is the baseline setting and should perform well
in most situations. If more anti-squat is desired, the lower position may be used. The
recommended chassis settings for these two positions are provided here. See the
included damper curve file for all the damper force curves.

ATTENTION!
If you choose to adjust the upper control arm position, you will need
to follow the procedures to re-set pinion angle and re-neutralize the
rear suspension. Failure to do so may result in loss of control of your
vehicle, potentially causing serious damage as well as injury or death.
