Motons DIY?

[madman]

I am getting my set (hopefully) on Friday. I might not be patient enough to have Vallaya installing them so I was wondering if there are major tricks in their installation. I know I will have to have it aligned after I finish. Should I drive it for a few days before the alignment to have the bushings settled? Any special tools? I did corners on my S2k before so I am not complete newbie to this, just never even looked at the Viper suspension. Thanks.

Its not very hard, should take a long afternoon to do. No caliper removal, no special tools. Creativity does come into play when routing and the placing the remote reservoirs. You’ll be very happy with them, no more bouncing on rough pavement. The alignment really comes down to if you change the ride height which will affect your camber. I put in some additional camber for running on the track.

Thanks, this is what I was looking for. I will adjust the ride height (want to lower it ). Will I need to drive it for some time to settle down the bushings (like I had to with s2k) or shall I turn it in for the alignment right away? Where did you put your reservoirs? I saw some pics with fron by the engine, dunno about the rears though...

There are no real bushings to settle in, the mounting points are heim-ends (sp?), no rubber. I lowered mine at least 1.5” and I rode around before the alignment for a week, the only thing that I changed was the camber. Your car will look so much better, pictures do a lowered car no justice. I will hunt down some reservoir placement pics and post them.
