anton: If budget is no object go with the Penske adjustable coil-over set up. My car sits low & level, and has the best ride of any viper I have been in or driven. All improvements, no sacrafices.

Motons are a good choice as well....a little expensive though. I thing John Henneeeeessseyy has a fairly reasonable set up as well. For less money.

I lowered for function.Lower CG.Less lean and less push with more rotation.Need to adjust the shocks and align.Probably a more agressive alignment with the stock parts and shock adjustment would have helped too but not as much.Of course you could do a more agressive alignment,stiffer roll bars,shock adjustment first.In general sway bars are usualy done first to minimize overall stiffness.Springs last. Sway bars first which do not affect overall stiffness.However the Eibachs are progresive rate and start out softer giving a better ride but go about 20% stiffer.Adjust shocks,align and you get better handling,lowered car with eibachs alone.I did not like to work that hard chasing ferrari in a twisty section.Way too much push and tire squeel with stock tire pressures.GTS Bruce
