    Took some new shots of my Viper lowered.

    I wanted to introduce myself. I'm a fellow viper owner who just found out about Driveviper after the whole debacle on the other site. I'm a Art Director/Graphic Designer/Photographer. I do this stuff for a living and that gets boring when you do corporate stuff. So my true passion is to shoot cars. I have been Experimented with a new photo technique called the Brenizer, giving me a huge photo size with an insane amount of detail. The Wheat Silo original shot was 720 megapixels total. I had to reduce it.

    Please go here to see the highest resolution. You can click on the other different sizes to see the full image before you view the original bigass size.

    I just did my BCs too. What is your dampening on? How low did you set them?

    In the rears I flushed the bottom out with the fork bracket. I was all the way down but rubbed too much.

    In the front I'm 1/4" lower than rear

    Looks great! Did you widen the stance?

    Looks great!! I wish I could do that but would never get out of my driveway or into and out of my garage. I envy you guys that can make your stance like that.

    How do you like the handling on those BCs?

    I have a couple things to do first but coilovers are so tempting.

    Very nice! I love the lowered look. They need to outlaw speed bumps.

    Worth mentioning that following guidelines from Mark Jorgensen at Woodhouse Motorsports on the rake of the vehicle when adjusting ride height go a long ways to making the Viper handle tremendously better.

    Set your ride heights using the frame to ground at the center of the contact patches across the front and then across the rears. It is advisable to not go lower then 4" for the front measurement to protect the frame and Pan. The rear should be at least 3/4" higher then the front to keep handling progressive, the lower you go the more it seems to want to over steer on throttle. Corner weighting will help handling, but for the street is not really needed.

    My settings are the stiffest all the way up in the front and I have to look at my paperwork tonight. I wrote it down. I will have to stiffen the rear a bit. I will send you the height measurements that I set mine to tonight. I think corner balancing is a must. It's about experimenting with the height plus you have to adjust the left front and rear 1/8-1/16" higher than the right side only cause you need to include the driver weight unless you always have a passenger with you. That reduced rubbing completely. The wheels and tire style matter too when it comes to rubbing. I'm running on stock wheels so they are a bit more inset then some of the aftermarket wheels out there.

    No, MtnBiker, I think it just looks like that since it's lowered.

    I'm going to have to go back and remeasure I measured from the bottom of the adjustment ring. This is great to kow.

    Guys if you are interested in buying the Coilovers I would just go through amazon so you are protected if something goes wrong and you don't get your shipment.
    I had a terrible experience with RSI. I would not recommend RSI due to the fact that it took me almost a year to get them. Or you can buy directly from BC or an approved vendor on the board.

    I admire your shots, but am surprised by the composition that includes and highlights the power poles, power lines, and even chain-link ! In my time, we used to joke about wishing there was a FILTER for those.

    Thanks for sharing...
