Anyone?

raising hand.

I am! But I guess you knew that already.

What kind? Something in between Eibachs and Penskes would be nice. I like the price of the Eibachs, but the drop is too much. I like the adjustablility of the Penskes, but the price is not worth it for me.

I am..........I have the motons now but it rubs a bit in the rear at the stiffest setting. I want to be able to lower it more, but much higher spring tension. The Eibachs with the motons, are not stiff enough.

ANy ideas?

My hands up!

We have a 99 with a Penske set up and this thing hugs the curves (handles better than anything I've driven thus far). Anything close to a Penske suspension would be awesome.

Just Do It!

Thanks for the feedback. Here is what I know is out there for suspensions:

MOTON - very nice system but is by far the most expensive and right now they are almost impossible to obtain. I have had an order in for 4 systems for months and I just got one kit a week ago.

EIBACH SPRINGS - lowers the car 1 inch for real cheap. Most who get them dont like the ride quality.

PENSKE - very nice product, almost as nice as the MOTONS. They dont have a kit for the SRT. These kits can also require regular maintenance.

CUT THE STOCK SPRINGS - well it works for the low rider boys.

ALDAN - relatively inexpensive but dont work all that well. Cylinders can leak.

OK - so there you have my perspective on whats available. I like the Motons the best but have been frustrated with not being able to get them. So I began a dialog with KW Suspension North America.

KW makes systems that I consider are comperable to the Motons. In fact, KW supplies Mopar with their upgraded aftermarket suspension kit for the Neon SRT4. KW has worked with Mopar and spent a lot of time doing test work on both the Viper SRT and GTS. Until now these systems have not been available to the public.

The good news is that we have placed a large stocking order with KW - for 16 suspension kits and as a result will have them in stock within the next 30 days.

I will make a seperate post on the specs, pricing, etc on the KW Viper suspension kits. But I think most will find them to be comperable to the Motons in performance and at a much lower cost. Being able to order them and get them in a reasonable time frame will be nice too.

As the exclusive KW distributor for Viper suspension kits, we plan to distribute these kits through other Viper tuners such DC Performance, Heffner and others.

More details to come.

I'm thinking of installing the Eibachs. any neg feedback then I'll prob swing with Johns new setup.

Tabkhan · May 15th, 2005, 09:34 AM

Hmm, Eibach sounds like the least expensive way to drop....

But i know for a fact that KW is amazing, my buddy has the kw on his M3...

SRTRICKY · June 28th, 2005, 01:17 AM

So why does it say the MSRP is $3,800 on the KW North America website, genius? Why does everyone have to try to be so smart? YAAAAA!!
