Although I do not own a set, I think for $2500 brand new you would be making a wise decision. Not sure what type of coilover and/or ride suits your fancy but if you were considering them I wouldnt pass up that offer.

I have them on my 09. They ride far better than stock, give better control, and allow you to easily adjust your ride height, or corner balance your Viper.

Do not think they are as good as Penske or Moton, but they are a nice upgrade over stock, especially for a street driven Viper. (For track you, you might wish to consider the next step up.

Price is great. Gonna pay 3x for better.

^^^^^^^^^^ yep , big time change of how the car handles- better feel

 

[prpaster]

So found out more today guy has had them for 4.5 yr in the box never installed could they be bad from sitting that long?

 

[bluesrt]

i would say they are fine- call kw and talk to them about that

[Luke@tirerack]

that is a great price ... over $1k less than we sell them for

who's offering you this deal?

 

[prpaster]

A guy on ebay was selling them had them for 2900 i offered 2000 he came back with 2500. Here is the link if anyone wants them. I also have some pics he sent me if anyone wants them

MODERATOR EDIT No links please
I ended up finding some Moton on ebay for 2200 that i purchased instead

If these were the same Moton's I saw, good luck. Those were off a Comp Coupe and will not work the same for a street Viper. Talk to Mark at Woodhouse, he can fill you in on all the details. He saved me from a $2500 mistake as I was going to use the Buy it Now and get them becuase the price was pretty good for Moton's.

 

[prpaster]

Yep they were i talked to mark about it and luckly the guy was cool enough on ebay to refund my money so back to square one i guess

Why, whats the difference?

 

[Black Moon]

They are valved stiffer and you'll need some shims at the mounting points. That's what I've been told by vendors that sell Moton (Motion) and KW.

 

[prpaster]

Yep and I emailed moton also and here is what they said

The dampers should fit ,however I am not sure about the lengths. The open lengths could be shorter of a Viper Comp. Coupe

Open length Viper Comp. Coupe: Front 504mm Rear 361

Open length Viper SRT-10: Front 543,5mm Rear 405mm

 

[VicTxV10]

I see they now relisted for buy it now of $2000.

Thanks for the answer. I appreciate it.

Where are they listed?

 

[Viper Nut]

Sold! For $2200.....

 

[prpaster]

That cheap!! Yea i just went with spring caps. Never really going to track the car so this will just take up the wheel gap a bit

 

[Black Moon]

WOW, that's a great deal.

dont drive your car hard with those caps- they make the car super loose in corners

 

[Black Moon]

Caps won't help the ride. Make sure you get it aligned either way.

Does nyone have a history with H&R's. Thanks

PM cubican. He had The H&R setup on his Viper, he is very helpful and willing to answer any questions.

 

[VicTxV10]

Where are they listed?

I received an email that they were relisted since buyer backed out at the $2200 price. The second listing had a buy it now for $2000 and were sold in just a few hours.

 

[Black Moon]

Got them. Thanks.
