So Jeff, have you found that you scrape the front facia alot with the Eibachs? It's really my only concern about buying a set.
Matt , I find that if I approach inclines from an angle I don't have any problems..I've scraped the Fascia on a couple occasions and it actually sounded a lot worst than it was.
Jeff that has to be possibly the most desirable yellow RT/10 in the world - what a car!
Barry thanks for the "over the top" Compliment ! When I was at the Maguiar's tech day over the weekend Mr Maguir came out and filmed a small segment on my car..I was very surprised considering there was over 20 other Vipers in the parking lot to choose from.
He said they will be airing the recording on his show called "Car Crazy".
I want to buy 20" HRE's so fucking badly! Those look so sick on your car...Black with yellow is off the hook....
Thanks Shawn ! Here's another pic..It really shows u how slammed the car is with Eibachs and 19's..20's might be a little to big if you plan on installing Eibachs.

I am going to take a picture and post it tonight. I have Eibachs but I dont think t lowered it that much...A few friends of mine have had Eibachs on there stock wheels and from what I can remember their Vipers seemed lower than mine...I was going to do 19's originally but the price of 19" tires is more than 20" tires so I can make up the difference by going with a bigger wheel. Plus not too many 20's out there!!! God d amn that looks sick though. Here is a pic of Gary Javos GTS. He has Eibachs with 20's and said it works fine....
See I thought the cost was lower for 20" tires than 19" tires....I mean I havent priced them....Ya I dont know how I stumbled on his ste, but ever since I did I have wanted HRE's. Shit maybe I will sell a kidney and buy some...The wheel experts told me 9200.00 for 20's with Pirellis.
Jeff, I want the exact wheels that are on Gary's car -- HRE 547's in 20's or 19's front, 20's rear. But, as you know, traction becomes an issue due to tire choices. How are you doing in terms of hooking up and driving around town or on the freeway?

Manny ,I get wheel spin through 4th if I am running 10 PSI of boost..If I'm only running 5-6 Lbs I only get wheel spin in 1st through 3rd.
It's very manageable wheel spin ...I wouldn't go back to 18's for anything.
Geeez, that is crazy. My car came with Sport Cups on, so I havent got to experience that kind of wheel spin with Pilot Sports. Today while on the freeway on ramp, I had in 2nd gear, nailed it, and it didn't spin. I love that!
I do wish I had some 19 or 20 inch HRE's for looks. I'm contemplating whether to go with the 18" HRE's and then sell them and upgrade to the 19's once good tires come out for them, or to just hold off for now.
Jeff, you have 19's all the way around, or 20's on the rear?

Keep in mind, Jeff has about 2.5 times the torque of your car at lower rpm's. Both sweet cars, but I think your power is a little more manageable as it is more linear. I would expect nothing but wheelspin from Jeff's car.
With those nice pretty wheels he has, unless we do a roll on at 110 MPH, I have a feeling it will look real ugly for a car with 2.5 times my torque at lower rpm's - LOL!
Jeff you bitch, when you coming over? Let's DO DIS!
