'99 Shocks

\'99 Shocks

I had the car on a lift yesterday to change all the fluids and lube everything. I noticed for the first time I had adjustable shocks in the front. I immediately changed the setting ( setting was on 1) and was rewarded by a much tighter, more controlled feel. Anyway, my question is are the stock shocks adjustable or was this something the previous owner changed?

Re: \'99 Shocks

you said setting was on one, what did you change it to?

mere mortal Vipers have no adjustability in the stock shocks. Now in the ACR the stock shocks are adjustable. I'd check the rears also they might be adjustable as I would think no one would just change out the fronts.

Re: \'99 Shocks

Originally when I bought the car the front felt like it "floated" when the rear felt tight. I thought maybe that was the way the factory set the suspension. Then I found the adjustment knobs and saw the setting on one. I change it to 3 (setting goes from 1 to 6), it tightened up the front and reduced the "floating" feeling but I really feel it should still be a bit stiffer. I'll raise the setting again next time it's on the lift.

I looked in the rear but couldn't find any adjustment controls. On the fronts, it's actually a little knob you can turn. Couldn't find a knob on the rears. I'll look a bit harder next time.

Thanks, Scott.
