Eibachs also. Lowered it about 3/4 inch (about the max to still negotiate my driveway):

Eibach's, lowered about 1".
Problems with spoiler and stiff ride, but that's the way I like it. Would not go back 4-wheeling anymore.

Concur with the alignment. But also a shock adjustment increasing the rebound setting.

RedEnuf, great looking RT. Don't you scrape the she-it out of the front end hitting dips in the road? And I'm assuming you could never go over a curb into a driveway?

Not really. It scrapes on my drivay, so I have to go out on reverse.
I have busted it twice: Once with a stupid bicyclist I ran over. Second time on a manhole that was sticking up while they had scraped 2" off the road surface.
I have to think continously about dead skunks, raccoons, truck tire pieces and be able to see the road far enough to avoid these types of things. You dont want a skunk to get "scooped" in.. :eek:
Speedbumps are a nightmare too. Curbs are a no-no. I have even driven the Viper in NY city several times, NOW... Thats a place where you have to be careful with the spoiler...

Oh well, what would you not do for good looks?? :D :D

If I would have the extra money, I would get the Autoform front...

I have a brand new set of Eibach's sitting in the box. I haven't taken them out yet because I didn't know how hard the install is, since i don't have a spring compressor. Can any alignment shop do the alignment, or is it Viper specific?

Do any of you guys with lowered cars, and 19" Purners or HREs have trouble with the tires rubbing front/rear?

I'm considering lowering and going with 19s and had heard about rubbing issues particularly in the front.

Thanks.

Pretty easy install. The first time I took the shocks and springs to a garage and had them replace them. It was easy for them with a coil over machine. Afterwords I found it very easy using my home spring compressor. Note the Eibacks have just a little compression in the installed position, which makes it easy to remove and reinstall . That was important as I tried several shock settings before I found the best rebound setting.

As far as a realignment you need to take it to a competent place that can give a 4 wheel laser alignment, or use the method shown by GTS Dean (use the search key).

RedEnuf93 - Whose spoiler is it that you have on the car now?

Autoform. But I really want the complete front....(later)

Taken last weekend -- not the best angle, but I'm lowered all the way front and back on the coilovers. I'm still higher in the rear for some reason, but the "raked" look is not bad I guess. Talk about driveway madness - I have to hit it at exactly the right spot or I scrape (thank goodness for the Roe guards). As RedEnuf said, it's is the price you pay for the look. ;)
