experienced frustrating understeer on silverstone track (not autocross) last week, when trying to power out of slower corners, with tyres hot (low 40degC /110F?).
295 Toyo R888s front, 335 Kumho V70s back...
Inside edge of fronts were noticeably hotter after each run: camber too negative...
Thanks Mate for posting up! Pics just don't show how much of the best Viper experience this is!! The track is the place to be. We'll persuade you to come next time, Mark. Could be as soon as august 16th
which springs did you go for Dave? I'm rubbing on 345/30r19s, smaller offsets, with eibachs and higher damped oem shocks.... next move goto 180deg back off full stiff rear shocks (currently 360deg off full stiff) .... if no good then stiffer springs!
well eibachs on now (so total now 1" lowered - original caps back on) and front shocks set .5 turn back from full stiff, rears: 1 turn back
not as much rubbing as before but still happens...
well....no?...just the 345/30r19s....
are the eibachs stiffer just to compensate for the 1" lowering result, or are they stiffer still to further resist chances of contact?
smaller apsect ratio? have been hunting for
335/25r19 (tyre wall= 84mm) or
345/25r19 (86) - don't seem to exist!...only
355/25r19 (89...still less than the 104 on the 345/30r19!)
wonder if there's any significant additional clutch stress when fitted with the 355s.....?
2002 RT/10
with 1/2" lowering caps
Just changed to the new Forgeline GA3Rs with 345/30r19 PS2s and getting contact on the rear arch tops...
Aiming to get stock shocks stiffened to 1.25 turns etc (as detailed elsewhere on VCA) but, with a set of eibach lowering springs eagerly awaiting fitment...
Just about to get a 19" set of Forgeline's newest wheel GA3R 12 spokes on my 02 RT - more photos soon...
21lb for the rear
desperately wanted the original 5 lug, 10 spoke design, but it couldn't....wouldn't be configured for a 6 lug mount....
Nad, if you need to enjoy cruising in a stock viper anytime, i could be persuaded to swop for the afternoon - you know how much you now like the roofless version! Perhaps it's why you 2 never have enough space - you keep accumulating and can't let go! Cars, pooches,...hopefully just the one...
