    Ground Clearance 2" Air Lift Kit - trying to find the preCovid $750 kit I posted about ...somewhere

    I don't understand how that can be: when deactivated, the cups are a solid spacer. The coil overs are lowered the amount of that space so the ride height is unchanged. Nothing changes in the suspension geometry?

    Regarding the install, the most difficult part is routing the wiring, fusing, dash control, pump, plumbing. Where to put, where to drill holes where to get your 12v supply. If you don't have coil-overs, then $$$. -

    UPDATE: (can't edit) VERA does not offer 110mm cups. Have to get from Stance. Same price as 120mm's.

    Yes. With the suspension hanging, Aldan 3.5" OD coil overs, the clearance between the spring OD and shaft is a 21/64 drill bit or .328 inches. This would accommodate a zero clearance cup diameter of 3.5 + 2(.328) = 4.156" = 108mm The cups are 110mm - so it's 2mm OS on the diameter, or 1mm on...

    Yes, someone has to write this up. This mod will transform Viper ownership (or any car w/low ground clearance) The biggest hurdle may be getting coilovers with 3.5" OD springs. My Aldans are that size.

    First, you have to have coil overs with no more than a 3.5" OD spring - that means you can run the 110mm air cups. You will have to grind away a little bit of the upper inner control arm shaft (a few mm at most) - NOTE: this measure ment made with suspension hanging. I believe the clearance...

    My viper conundrum

    If your car has low miles and in exceptional condition - and you find yourself not driving it because you don't want to spoil that, you have the wrong car! You should sell it and buy one that has high miles, is not perfect/rough even/maybe even a R title, and drive it without a care in the...

    UPDATE: Latest discovery & prelim measurements indicate 110mm OD cups are required which means they have to come from Stance. Vera does not have 110's.

    UPDATE: there is not even a "finger's width" clearance between the coil OD and the upper inner control arm - need to get some cup dimensions.

    The "tuner kids" are all into this, also Porsche guys. Saw one in the flesh, little import tuner car splitter was parked and almost laying on the ground. They showed me the 2-3" lift. Viper with splitters, especially ones that extend way forward are nightmare for hits. I'm getting my...

    Actually I've found a bunch of manufacturers. The term is "Air Cup Suspension" Here are some links: https://www.driftworks.com/row/stanceparts-air-cup-lift-kit-for-coilover-suspension.html#product-options https://d2racing.com/air-cups/?sort=priceasc&page=6 I think the front only w/o tank is...

    Hennessy GTS Fascia Splitter Option: need pic or dimensions (want to fabricate)

    Here are a couple pics. The fascia has a series of nut plates along the front edge. If the shape of the splitter is a "D", the straight aft edge would not be attached to anything - that's a long unsupported edge. OR the splitter is a curved, maybe 8" wide piece, like a curved strip that extends...

    This was an all 4 corners kit. Great price. Can't find where I talked about it. It is used with straight spring coil-overs. I seem to recall their website was very detailed about how to determine the fit and what is required to make them work.

    Frame holes or frame damage?

    I got scared for a moment when I first saw them (never saw on a car before)
