After pics when it was lowered. I have had no problems yet scraping or bottoming out. I do think I will raise it back about 1/2 " just to be safe. As gerald may think..it's a "Homie's" ride slam to da ground! he!. I just have to come at an angle at times when going over speed bumps..but other than that..no problem. Car seems to corner better too.

Much better lowered but those 17 inchers look suspect...
You are in serious need of some wheels, dude!

 

[Tom Welch]

**** that looks good!

There aint a rapper on the planet who wouldn't give his entire Mr. T starter kit for that ride!

 

[Qualitywires.com]

yes, Jason..I know I need wheels. I'm hoping to get the Kinesis K58 18" wheels and That way I won't have to raise the car back up 1/2".

Tom..yo! yo! my naassss making homie! heh!

 

[Craig 201 MPH]

that is TIGHT Adam!

Looks great, now as for that wing......

 

[mystic]

that car looks sick, needs some rims though

What suspension setup did you go with?


Dave

 

[jimandela]

It looks sweet!!

 

[1TONY1]

I LIKE !!! The wheels are fine in my opinion......thats a ....ah....what the $4,000- $5,000 question, and that wing will make a nice tailgate table at VOI

Did you decide to go to the drag racing?

 

[Jason-Middle Tennessee]

Looks good Adam but I'm with Jason on the wheel issue too!!

 

[Craig 201 MPH]

leave the 17's, it's classic

Lil SchueyWrote: I hope you like the aesthetics because that car isn't going to handle any better than a UPS truck. Nothing like only generating downforce on one end of the car and killing suspension travel, camber curves, roll axis, etc...


I like the look of it, but I was wondering about the handling abilities too. I've gotten good at taking my suspension off my viper now. I can do all four sides in 1 hour. The ride is a little stiffer, but not too bad. It does feel like it handles corners better, but I want to know more about what you said it not handling better than a UPS truck. Now at the sametime I'm not whipping around streets corners doing 140mph either.

I used stock springs. I had 3 sets in the garage, so I decided to take my dremmel tool and cut the springs. The fronts are lowered about 1.75" and the rear was lowered about 1.25". I got the car aligned with no problems. If I don't like them, I can just slap on the original springs real easy. I may try out the adjustable coil over shocks down the road. Give me some insight on the performance side of it.

Tell me your kidding about cutting the springs Adam?

 

[King GTS]

Great job Adam.

 

[Eddie N]

it looks good.. you were kidding about cutting the springs, right?

 

[Qualitywires.com]

yep..I cut them..but no heat was generated from it. I had water on them. I wanted to see what it looked like with the spare set of springs I had laying around.

So tell me the down faults of this?...I would like to know. Either way..I am going to keep the Viper lowered with the adjustable coil overs or keep the springs I have on for right now. I'm serious when I say that the ride quaility is not much different.

One more question...would this slow down my 1/4 mile time by having the cut springs? considering..the take off from the starting line was good?

 

[Qualitywires.com]

That's the thing...I'm NOT bouncing around. My ride is a tad bit stiffer...but it feels the same as the eibachs I've used on numerous cars. I've tried this car on bad roads with no problems of bouncing. What else is the down fall?

 

[Qualitywires.com]

Nope not offended at all. Hopefully my response didn't come off as defensive....I'm new to this suspension stuff...and kind of wondering with the lowered Viper if my ET times were effected by this mod. I haven't done the 1/4 too much, but my times are higher..which is not good. I don't think the wing is to blame too much.

 

[Qualitywires.com]

Tony, I went to the drag in Commerce GA. I was looking for you, but I will not be able to make it to the VIO.7 drags. I will be up early on Thursday in time for the parade. Give me a shout soon.

 

[MaxedGTS]

I like the lowered look. The wheels look fine. I was wondering if you've taken the car over a speed bumps?

Max

 

[VIPERESS]

Hey Adam,
Well done, great job! Looks awesome. However, I have to agree...new wheels please

Cut springs?!?!
Enjoy!

You have to upload them to a site like this one

I drove my last 94 RT/10 around for about 2 years on cut springs. Didn't notice a thing different except the great looks.

I wasn't tracking or road racing the car either. Just normal everyday driving..

tradin1...is your car lowered with JUST Eibach's

or Eibach's and spring caps?

That looks to be a little more than a 1" drop! I have some Eibach's coming in this week and NEED to know! LOOKS NICE!

 

[tradin1]

Thx, that is just the Eibach springs. I don't have any problems with bottoming out, or scraping. I would defiantly do it. As for the spring caps, I don't think that it is nessasary, but to each their own. Let me know which way you go, and post pics...
