¶ Upper arms / links
Comment from Joseph Quagraine on the upper links:
Start with links. When your car is really good, put front arms on. If it is better, put rear arms on.
Upper arms make the car more consistent and faster later in the race, especially in hot weather or on grippy tracks (due to less flex)
