I was shocked too. Actually I think I paid $14.95. The Porsche parts manager was not to pleased to have a Viper parked by his parts window!

High Performance House (650 364-6234) in Redwood City, Ask for Rich Bontempi, he has them in stock pre-drilled for the Viper.

Yes. Make sure that they can rotate on the control arm if they take a hip from some road source. Plastic ties will allow for this. If not, your control arm may get damaged.

Do a search for installation pictures. Basic items wrap the A-arms with Teflon or equivalent tape (to protect the coating on the A-arms), attach with plastic tie wraps.

You're not alone Ron. I got nailed too and they were the most useless mod I ever did. They're in the garbage now and I'm using 3" X 34" air inlet hoses from Western Auto for $7 each.

Ditto what Chuck said. Last time at the track I melted one pretty good so I took it off. Temp paint showed no difference after removing it.
They do have another purpose that most people are unaware of; they work great as emergency brakes in the unfortunate occasion you visit a sand trap. I couldn't believe how well they dug in.
Save your $$ and forget about them.

Hey Ron, you disappoint me if, with all the racing you've been doing you haven't spent time at the beach or tagged a wall yet.
I remember what Danny Sullivan said "If you don't walk back to the pits with the steering wheel once in a while, they'll think you're not pushing it."

Chuck, there's no sand out here in Cali, all the runoff is dirt. I did go off last time out on turn 14 at Thunderhill, I guess that means I'm getting better
!
BTW, Chuck out of curiousity what tracks are you running? Are you doing Viperdays VIR?

I had unknowingly volunteered to test the deceleration potential of the sand off turn 3 at Gingerman. Luckily the test was designed such that a professional photographer was positioned right near the oak tree for a perfect perspective. After reviewing the high speed film of the event, we concluded that the sand did offer a deceleration from 85 MPH to zero quicker than my car on asphalt.
How did I unknowingly volunteer you ask? Seems my coolant reservoir bottle decided to mate with a bolt and the result was a wet embrace of my front right tire.

There are a series of 8, I only have the first 4 leading up to the sand. Note the debris already on the bra from turn 3 on the last lap, which provoked the relationship between my bottle and the bolt.
Yep, tires now provide a nice relaxing vibration.

I got them for a little over $11 each. I think I might have gotten a PCA discount though. Remember these didn't include the aluminum brackets. I bought those separately for around $25 each.

Limited finances have cut deeply into my racing program this year <FONT size="1">(subliminal plee for sponsorship)</FONT s>. I'm forced to stay close to home <FONT size="1">(subliminal plee for sponsorship)</FONT s> and race at Sebring, Moroso, Homestead. So far, I've only attended one Viper Days this year <FONT size="1">(subliminal plee for sponsorship)</FONT s> at The House of Woodhouse <FONT size="1">(shameless plug)</FONT s> Mid America Motorplex <FONT size="1">(shameless plug)</FONT s> and will be unable to attend <FONT size="1">(subliminal plee for sponsorship)</FONT s> VIR.
