I couldn't get her on an even surface to take that shot. Took off from the shop and went straight home to clean her up for tomorrow. And it was pretty dark by the time I got done. Ill post more pics tomorrow from cars and coffee.

Don't forget, the suspension will settle in more and it will get a bit lower.

Truth.

nice chop Jordan!

man even though it was only like a 1.5" drop, the ride quality has gotten 10 times worse. its bouncing all over the place, especially with the pot holes, bumps, and uneven roads in Houston.
Definitely not liking it at all. May have to look into coilovers soon.

Also looking into wheels. should be ordering some with in the next couple of weeks.

Might as well, man. I you plan on keeping the car for a while its the best choice, plus the size of the wheel doesn't matter as much because you're going to be able to tailor the ride height to fit the wheels.

Had to put different plates on it. Too many toll road violations on the Wiper ones. Lol.

Finnally had her all cleaned up good for the first time.



And then this. Damn Houston weather. Drove her through a foot of water at few points just to get home before flooding got worse

Washed and then rain right after? That is the worst! I hate when that happens in my car, let alone a nice car like yours.

Did you change the shocks as well? Or left the stockies on there?

Dunno about the Viper but some cars ride fine even after just springs.... others are downright horrible without adjustable shocks.

That said, the painted rear valence looks great. Satin finish is perfect for trim pieces like that.

The shocks are stock. But the ride is so bad right now that it feels like I'm riding only on springs.

Waiting on my guy. When ever he has free time he will come to the shop and do them.

Yeah. Everything went back. Other wise it would be clunking like crazy.

Its funny because they look better in the picture then they really are


Putting her away for about a month while I'm out of town.
Added about 2500 miles since I got her, less than a month.
