I just recently acquired a 2005 Black on Black Viper which should be here next week. very excited about the whole operation. I am not a "newbie" to car forums, only this one. I know the urgency of the "search" function as i have been researching this site for a while now....

Through my searches I have decided upon an Eibach set-up with Spring caps in the rear only.

I am still up in the air on which exhaust I will be getting...

I have researched, searched, read threads (about 10 relatively recent ones) on wheel spacers. I am looking to make the stock wheels/tires flush with the fenders and from what I am gathering I have seen 3/4" in the front and 1" in the rear *should* work. Can anybody confirm or negate that assumption? I also read you need about 7 turns on the lugs, etc. I am just wondering if that is the sizing I should be looking at or if I will need a different size or something in addition to make it work on a stock wheel setup.

Any help or even pics would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

Be aware of the SRT10 rear, limited shock travel resulting from BOTH Eibachs and Caps. Pothole/Speedbump/Whoop-dee-dos.
Rear-only lowering = rake issues at high speed. Trailer-cruise-in ride? OK.
Are you asking about 3/4" and 1" wheel spacers?!?!?

Several exhaust options, 1 or more can meet your sound goals and mod plans...
