I have seen many posts by many people, with everything from Eibach springs and caps ( Dimitrious ) to Motons, Aldan Eagles, KW variants, and others.

My question is how much ( parts and labour separated please ) and how happy are you with the results and did it get rid of the wheels hop and allow for any kind of fine tuning.

thanks

Motons all the way. Moton Clubsports with Eibach springs takes care of the wheel hop and improves the handling of the car substantially. You can adjust the car’s height, rebounce, etc and tune it for the specific course easily once you have the Moton setup.

I believe it runs around $4000 with the Eibach springs.

By the way, check your PM.

From what I have heard is if you want to race the car on the track...

Get the Motons...I think you still need springs if you buy the motons..

If you want a good street setup.. go with the KW's....I am pretty sure these come with springs..

If you just want to lower it and compromise your ride... Go with the caps...

I personally will go with the motons....

Motons for sure. One of the best mods a person can do and the Vipers should come from the factory with the Motons pre-installed.

My wheel hop is basically gone with Motons with Eibach spring and also adding PS2 tires. Motons cost a little more,but can take the abuse. They dont blow out like alot of the other shocks. Ride is very nice because you can adjust the compression and rebound dampening to suit track driving or daily street driving.

Valaya Racing put Penske 3-way adjustables on my '05 (done by the previous owner); lots of people swear they are the best. Give Ted a call there and see what they cost, etc. At the very least you can an opinion from him since he is in your neck of the woods and if you opt for something else they have tons of Viper experience.
