Has anyone done a nose lift kit on the Gen 5?

I was wondering if anyone has done something along these lines:

Living in CT where the roads are junk, you need every bit of help possible.

Thanks,

It would be a game changer! Im staying away from TA 2.0s due to the even lower aero but with this the dream could be real! Lol

I NEED THAT NOW! Brilliant idea, Wonder if it will work on stock Koni shocks with spring lowering caps?

That is a great idea. Wish I would have thought of it.

My one and really only legitimate complaint about my old ACR was the white knuckled experience I'd have when parking in certain areas or driving on certain crap roads. Sometimes, you just don't have the option of angling the car perfectly to keep from hearing that horrible scraping noise. Sometimes you also come upon road construction where two inches of asphalt has been shaved away to make a new transition to a concrete overpassing - and when you hit that at 40mph, you may as well kiss the whole splitter goodbye. If this kit is possible on the new Gen V ACR, I'm all over it (once I get my car, that is).

edit: Just looked up their product catalog, and these kits are available for all Vipers through Gen III from what I can see. It wouldn't surprise me if we see one for the Gen IV and V if enough people ask about it... Pricing is anywhere from around $6K to $10K depending on options. I'd think that, if the Gen IV or V ACR comes with KW shocks, there should be an "upgrade" kit in the $5K range was with other cars...

You can get the universal system for $3700 to retrofit to stock suspension. Thats a price thats fair if you ask me. I would assume you might need new springs that are shorter but maintain the same rate as stock or whatever your setup is.
