Front Coilover, Gen 3-4 question

[jerseydave]

I need a new passenger side coilover for my 04 viper as it has a slight leak. Is there a difference between Gen 3/4 coilovers and does anyone have one laying around that they would like to part with? Thanks.

The Gen IV shocks have a 5% stiffer spring rate (Front: 210 lb/in Vs. 200 lb/in on a Gen3). The damping on the Gen IV shocks was reportedly also re-tweaked slightly to match the new rates and re-tuning for PS2s. In the rear, the spring rates also went up 5%; from 500 lb/in (Gen 3) to 525 lb/in on the Gen IV.

If anyone is interested, I have a very nice pair of Gen IV front shocks with less than 2k miles on them for $425/pair plus shipping. I installed a set of lowering caps on them and was looking for a pair of like-new rears to match, when I decided to buy a new set of KW V2s instead (thanks Jon B.). So a set of four new machined aluminum lowering caps (good for 5/8"-3/4" lowering) is included with the deal. These shocks are pristine clean and are part #05181432AA with spring #05181439AA. PM me with your e-mail address and I'll send photos of both fronts. Original spring caps are also included. New these are around $800 each!

I've got a pair of Gen 3 front shocks with about 1700 miles on them. Send me a pm with an offer for 1 or both.

Oddly enough the Gen3 part is superseded to the Gen4 part if it is replaced although they come without the spring, if you need just one call me and I think I have one loose one, you should change the spring over though.

Would you part with just the lowering caps?
