ACR just arrived!

Red/Black/Red

CAR IS AMAZING!

First order is to have it serviced just so I have peace of mind and I have an actual benchmark.
Second is to lower this car. Do ACR owners lower their car? If yes, up to how much? You know Ryan and I always wants our Vipers really low. :)
Third is to put clear bra on the whole car. Any brand you guys can recommend aside from Xpel?
Fourth is to make it reach over 600. I know I already saw a lot of all motor builds here and will probably just follow their path.

Here's a pic

Will add more pic as soon as I get home.

Congrats! Great Car!

[Track Pack]

Beautiful car! I spoke with Bernie a few weeks back, maybe around the time you struck your deal on it - congrats! John

[viper-hennessey]

great ACR

[noisy]

Thanks guys! The struggle to mod it already is REAL!

[Torquemonster06]

Beautiful ACR you got there. As far as usual mods, I have seen lowered ACR's. Its actually very easy on them. Did you get the spanner wrench with it? On another note, I would do the clear bra as fast as possible. The more chips you get in the paint, the more paint correction have to do before you have it put on. 3-M makes a great product. Talk to your installer. He should give you a few options. Our whole car is covered. It was that way when we bought it so Im not exactly sure on the brand. Im sure more people will chime in with great info.

[Next Phase]

Congrats! Did you get it from BJ Motors?

[St.Char]

Nicely done!, Love the color combo, however, it looks like there might be some play in the steering wheel based on the pic you posted, the stripe is off. Hahah....Car is stunning!

[TmanViper]

Congrats, great color.

Yes it comes with the spanner wrench. Hasn't been opened yet from the packaging. How do you adjust the damper and rebound? Read it online that you don't really have to take off the wheel to do that.

I actually haven't played with ours as of yet. Its already lowered and the ride is great. You should have an extra booklet in your manual pack in the glove box. Im suree some ACR guru's will chime in to help. If not start another thread in the Gen 3 & 4 section. Did you get this from Tomball? Bernie is the man. We just got our from them also and the whole experience was great.

I got this from Chicago Motor Cars. Car is just 2k miles. Very fresh and smells like new. Did you know how many inch did you lower your ACR? I'm usually not afraid to lower Vipers as my 03 was slammed as hell but the ACR lip sits pretty low in the front and they are not cheap to replace.

Is it true that you have to corner weigh the ACR again once you lower it?

[Torquemonster06]

Not sure exactly how much its been lowered. No you don't have to corner weigh your ACR after lowering it. this is how ours sits.4145

[Leslie]

Congratulations on the ACR!!!

I haven't lowered mine yet, want to for sure.

[commandomatt]

Sweet ride.....nice score on finding a low mileage one that is virtually like new.

I am going to lower my ACR as well but have also been told to do so with caution for a few reasons. I am sure those that have the actual experience will chime in with good feedback

[Timnineside]

The manual is your friend:

Read through, save, print whatever.

This will make your life a lot easier. And yes you're going to want to remove the wheel. I don't think you'll want to fight it trying not too.

Concrats! Love the black and red color combo.

did you sell your blue one or trade it in?

[Murpowa]

Nice buy!

[noisy]

Nice! Now I have an idea. You have a front shot so I can see how low the lip to the ground is? Thanks bro

You will need to if you are planning to take the car to the track. I can't tell what part of the country you are in but you do have a few options. You can catch John Archer at any of the NARRA events this year and get Russ to set you up. Get ahold of Mark at Woodhouse if you are close to Ne. I am pretty sure that the guys at Tomball can take care of you as well if you are close to them in Texas. I would not suggest adjusting the dampening until you get the car aligned and have the new ride height in place. I had Woodhouse set the rough track alignment in my car and have not even touched the rebound settings. My dad's car has the rough track alignment in his as well but mine is about a 1/4" lower than his. Either way I would suggest to take it to one of the guys who knows how to set the Vipers up. Make a road trip and get out to a track event. You will be hooked from there.

[Crotalidae]

Congrats...looks great!!!

[IndyRon]

Very nice ride! Definitely lower it. You have to be careful though. Mine is lowered on Motons and the front splitter is 4.25" off the ground. You absolutely need to enter driveways and go over things at an angle. Also, don't forget that the rear splitter sits almost as low out back. You can't back up too close to curbs either. You will love the car...the essence of the Viper brand.

[Dusty1]

The track settings on Compression I belive are 7 in the front and 6 in the back as a place to start, too rough for the street though unless you really like kidney belts. I would do the lowering as suggested in conjuction with a track alignment, Russ is great if you can get to him. There are the notated power adder mods but please don't forget the stainless brake lines and motul and if tracking get a set of belts, your body will be much happier at the end of the day. Welcome to the fun!
