    Wheel Hop

    Also check tranny mount - mine was broken and made a loud bang noise when I would accelerate. Now, the noise is back during hard accerleration - from stop or roll - so I am thinking it's either bad engine mount or loose exhaust.

    Springs installed next week, should I have alignment done at the same time?

    Re: Springs installed next week, should I have alignment done at the same t Bat - what spec are you using for the alignment? Factory? GTS Dean - Can you please tell us more of this torque procedure? I am doing this at home and don't want to screw up. Thanks!

    All this talk about Eibachs, any others worth considering?

    NICE - mine are still enroute. How does it look? Brand new? Not bad for savings of $50+ over other competitors.

    Bumper Guard

    Anyone have experience with Roe's bumper guard http://www.roeracing.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=16&idproduct=72 I did read that it came loose after a couple weeks so I am a bit apprehensive about it sticking to the body panel. Thanks in advance!

    Has anyone used Eibachs with lower spring caps from jon b? I presume this combo will take you down almost 2"

    Lowering the Viper?

    Is there a rule of thumb for adjusting Koni? I am installing Eibachs and car is a street car only so I don't want too harsh of a ride but also do not want to bounce. Which setting would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance!

    iForged Wheeled Vipers - Please check in

    Inferno - the wheels look amazing. Is it lowered using Eibach? (your signature states that it's lowered) If so, did you adjust the shock setting? Thank you

    Does anyone REGRET going with Eibachs?

    Anyone in the Chicago area who has done this? What would be a reasonable cost for doing this work? Thanks!

    Best way to lower

    I am planning to lower as well but struggling to find a shop in Chicagoland to do it at a reasonable price. Speaking of which, what's a reasonable price for installing springs? I have gotten around $600 to do the install.

    front license plate bracket

    knuk - Thank you for the reply. Cross section is the dead center, below the emblem, correct? It is definitely firmly attached but the bottom prong is not hooked to the bottom of the valence... Thanks!

    front license plate bracket

    I just got JonB's bracket. It was an easy install and I recommend getting a nice plate frame to match. Only question I have is does the short end of the prong go on top? I can't seem to have both latch at the same time - it's only the top part. It fits secure but just curious if I screwed...

    Anyone have a step by step instruction for replacing springs?

    Great info. Is there any rub issues with Eibach? I am reading a few post about having to have your wheels turned to open hood etc. I have 19" with identical rolling height as stock. Also, how much can I expect to drop with the springs? I am hearing about an inch front and inch and half for...

    First drive after picking up the Viper... 1 ticket already :(

    There must be some conspiracy these days but last week I got pulled over by a prickless wonder Schaumburg cop for squealing tire. It was below 50 degrees and I didn't have best traction but I certainly wasn't driving recklessly... Anyway, I ended up getting 3 tickets - 1) squealing tires 2) no...

    Does PCV Hose To Air Filter Reduce Octane Rating??

    Will installing a catch can help non-supercharged vipers as well? Thanks

    How do you stop the hop ???

    TTT - Bo Knows - have you fixed your issue? I can't tell whether my drivetrain noise duing hard accerleration is 1)excessive wheel hop 2) broken engine mount or 3) loose exhast parts. I know it's not tranny mount as I just put energy mounts on...

    What RPM to launch at?

    Jeff - awesome driving. One thing I noticed is that you didn't let your RPM drop that much between shifts. I must be a terrible drag racer but for some reason my rpm seems to drop down alot more between shifts. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks!

    How Much Boost Can I Go?

    Sorry if this was discussed before but what I can I expect with 2002 GTS (nearly stock dynoing around 430rwhp/465rwtq) + Roe charger/tuned? What psi is recommended for 2001/2002? Thanks

    FINALLY Found the problem, BAD Engine mount! Typical ??

    Jon, Thanks for the reply. What type of noises were you hearing? I hear loud pop - mostly in the rear (I think) during aggressive driving.

    FINALLY Found the problem, BAD Engine mount! Typical ??

    Is it possible to visually check engine mount from the top? Should I just use a level to see that it's not leaning in either direction? The reason I am asking is I am getting quite a bit of wheel hop when I downshift aggressively or launching. I thought it was tranny mount but it's not. Or...

    Recommendation on rockers

    what's this with milling down the oil baffle?! Is this required for most rocker installs?? So much for straight bolt on...

    Got my VEC2...and....WOW!!!!

    Thanks for the dyno post. Looks like you picked up serious amount of torque!!! I presume you have more power to be had if you leaned out the car? How did you measure the AF? is it still accurate to put the sensor at the muffler?

    Recommendation on rockers

    Tracy - thanks! I've confirmed that with Roe Racing. Hopefully, my GTS isn't one of those 5% with different length
