Does anyone know alignment specs for an 01 with Eibach pro springs - or should I go with the factory specs?

Pretty funny. I called the dealer to do springs, they told me 600 bucks. So I did it my self - took about 4 hours. I then called the "5 star" dealer with a Viper tech for an alignment only to get "We dont align Vipers". They have 5 on their lot for sale including an SRT. Its nice to see a dealer that can't support the cars they sell.

Now about those alignment specs :)

Anyone . . .

Thanks!!

THANKS! I just talked to Vipermed and he said factory specs were good as I will not be tracking it too much (thats right Chuck)
After you've raced in an F1 car these vipers are just big pigs. JK. :)

I found it difficult, if not impossible to get back to the factory specs, once lowered...Did you adjust your Koni's while the suspension was off???


Gerald would your specs also be good for a 99 ACR?

Absolutely...Another tip...pulling the sport shims will make it way easier/quicker to get the negative camber in front...


NOTE: My RT is not a track car...strictly street/drags/poser use...

I adjusted my blue Koni's when I had the suspension off. I dont know how accurate it got them but it rides a little bouncy. Not to bad though. One thing I did notice is that the car doesnt get as jarred over *** holes as bad. The seems to cushion them better. Down the road I will probably put a little better shock setup on it. But for now its great.

Gerald, I happen to have my car at the shop for Delrin bushings, lowering and alignment when I first read this thread. I had my ACR set up with the specs you suggested. I took it home last night and :eek: WOW what a difference.

That is probably one of the best performance mods (second only to my DLM III+ package :D ) I have made. The car sits nice and low about 1.5" front/1" rear down from factory settings and it really does feel like it's on rails now.

Thanks for the spec suggestions. Oh by the way the bushings seem great. Even with the car lowered the bumps were fine no added jarring. :) Just like Scean Roe said the shocks now work like they're suppose to, very smooth.
