It is fortunate that I have found this out now, it would be embarrassing to have to strip the uprights and swap things over in the pits before I could race. Just goes to show how long helds views can sometimes turn out to be wrong.... | Don't worry Russ--as amply demonstrated above (and you can spend eons doing Google searches of various Cobra and other knock-on-wheel-car forums etc. for further confirmation), your long-held views are right, and your car is correct as it currently sits. So instead of spending a bunch of time swapping your suspension components side-to-side to make it incorrect, you can instead devote that time to more productive pursuits--perhaps starting with a bottle or two of Lion Brown.
