Wow that looks sweet! What was everyone saying that you can't run lower perch Konis with race springs for?! Yours works!

Btw, watch your camber... that looks as low as my car and my camber is all out of whack.

thanks guys.

jrock, i was waiting to see how your camber kits turn out , then i will prolly get the front one. how much was just the front?

oonowindoo, these are the koni sport (yellows) they have adjustable height and damper. the front is set on the low setting, about 9/16" below the race spring drop of 2.2". the rear is set at the stock setting w/ close to 2" spring drop. i could drop the back almost another 3/4".

fbazakos, how are your fimness settings?

Yeah I just sent the money order out this morning. I should have them by next Thursday or so and hopefully installed by Friday.

Once I know the camber kits (especially the front) do fit our car as I was told they do, I will let you guys know.

I ordered front and back Specialty Products (aka Eibach) camber kits for $298 from groupbuycenter.com. I actually paid an extra $15 for two-day shipping to ensure they get here sometime next week. My tires are almost gone.

well i have so much damn suspension work done, that our settings wouldn't be identical. plus i have different springs (eibach prokit) ... if I want it to be reasonable (now for me, the stock suspension on a viper is reasonable), i have to leave it about half way. with everything that is on it, i get no body roll, no bouncing, it's just smooth as hell. i took eclipse for many rides a few weeks ago, he can tell ya. now when i take it to the track, i crank it all the way tight. it's like a frocking go-kart ... i have a video of me following a corvette and bmw, they look like boats in comparison, and it looks like i'm not even trying ... you have to get a good feel for the car, cause it will just slide and skate without much warning ...
