A 1 inch drop won't bottom out the shock posts. Think before you talk. The next cheapest alternative though would be getting KWs for the car. You can get motons or even Ohlins which are the best but you're looking at 2K per corner for the Ohlins. What I would do is get the part number for the KWs from the KW web site and then contact the dealers listed on the KW web site and give them the part number and request a price. There are a lots of non viper vendors who don't charge viper prices that can get the KWs. I would go down the list and price it out from every vendor and then go with the cheapest.
All this is true. KW's are certainly more for the "track enthusiast" and completely adjustable ride heights, etc is what you pay for I suppose. I enjoyed the eibachs on the RT10, but after my little accident, I decided to spend the bucks to get the kw's such that I can adjust it for my needs.
As far as what Cap wants, I would go with springs only or caps.

There was a thought, then a post. Read the post. I have gone the cheap route along with several others on this board, and a one inch drop, and a road that compresses the shock, will bottom out the shock. This is spoken from experience. I have three SRT's, and have had the issue on two of them, and then went the Moton route. Same problem found with the SRT's and Aldans. Either you run an extremely stiff custom spring from Hyperco, and have your car drive like shit, or go coilovers. Once you have bottomed yours out, then post.
Tucker, good info - I tend to trust those that have tried it themselves.

No problem at all.
Some have had no issues at all, but not all of us are subject to the same streets either. If you are willing to spend the 250 for springs and another 1-200 on install, and then trash the stock suspension, by all means go for it.
A ton of people don't plan on tracking their cars, so yes, the 3-5 grand on suspension is a little much. It is worth the money to me after going through the caps and spring crap. A set of Aldans with Hyperco's was tooth rattling, Intrax is just plain shit and had problems from the start, and lowering caps make sense, but don't provide the drop most of us are after.
There are a million threads on this, and there hasn't been a good/cheap solution yet.
I apologize in advance for blowing up this thread, but the post by the Milf guy telling me to think before I post just pisses me off.
There are a ton of vendors on the site that have worked pretty damn hard to find suspensions for us to use on these cars. In appreciation of that, we have an asshat posting to just get the part numbers from these Viper tuners that have done a ton of installs and research on these systems, and pick up the phone and start calling companies that do not have any experience with our cars, and then find the cheapest of these companies, and buy from them. Would you call Heffner and ask him for all the part numbers on his TT kit so you could order those by yourself in order to try to save a buck? You would be the same nervy fuck to call the reputable tuners with experience for help on these systems when you fuck up your install, ordered the wrong kit, need a replacement, etc.... I have never heard of an RFP on suspension components before. I am all for good pricing, but this is well over the line of just being a complete fucking dildo. Buy your Intrash springs. I heard that Ricer.com was selling them 50 cents cheaper than over at Civic.com.
I was simply trying to save you the trouble of buying shit, and you went cocksucker....

There are a .........
Tucker,
absolutely nothing with your post what you have to apologize. Thank you for your clear statement. There are always sucker who want to do the same experience twice and know everything better.
Just as an addition, I have the Aldan coilovers with stiff springs. So far they have been OK. I say just OK because it depends on your goals, my ride is harsh but I don't mind.
On the other hand I do plan on upgrading to KW's in the future as I am beginning to track more often (also adding the CC Oil pan and a roll bar). The Aldans with the stiff springs do pretty well on the track, I think they are better for the track than the road as there are no potholes on the track.
There are plenty of times where I noticably wince while driving on some not so great streets.

Listen Dumbshit, there isn't any real R&D when it comes to installing shocks on a car. It is 2 bolts, one on top and another on the bottom. If that's too much for you then go ahead have someone else charge you up the ass and do it. Companies like Ohlin, Moton and KW have done all the research for you. The shocks come ready to install so don't go mouthin your pie hole about R&D that the vendors have done and patronage. It's a scam that viper vendors sell the same exact shock with the same exact part number for more then what regular dealers sell them for. If you go to KWs web site, they even have instructions on tuning the KWs on the SRT-10. They literally spell out how you adjust the shocks to work on the SRT-10. Before my SRT-10 I had a C5 that had full Ohlin suspension along with Brembos all around. For lowering a car, springs will be enough.
