Pictures? Sometimes it does take some times for the springs to settle but i'm not sure how big of a difference you're talking about.

mine looks pretty nice and even. Took a day or so for the height to settle in, but it wasn't bad right after install. I put in the pro kit they have for the viper

Jeff, let me borrow the Murcie for a day and somehow that will end up fixing the springs on your viper. Don't question my logic

I must ask.

Not being a dick. Truly just curious. As a murcielago owner, why would you install the eibachs and not just go with the motons?

Well, not to be a dick, but the Viper was bought to go fast I spent $$$ money under the hood for HP, if I want a car that performes in the corners I will drive the Lambo! The Viper is the car to beat up on all my buddies Z06's and Cobras, its fun to just spank them!!!! Oh and I just cant justify spending 5G's to lower the car!

Fair enough

The motons apparently improve the ride and handling significantly, looks are only 1/4 of it. (maybe 1/3...nobody knows)

And for reference, the viper outhandles the lambo. Not to be a dick


Nice looking viper you have there!

I would have to disagree with that statement, maybe stock to stock, but that isnt the case!

it looks fine to me; check out this link, and look at the blue/white SRT coupe with the white wheels
It has the same springs I believe

I think it looks good! I feel lowering my 95 was the best cosmetic mod other than wheels I did to it.

I dont remember the exact installation sequence, but did you tightening the shock bolts with the wheels still up in the air?

It actually doesnt look bad. Thats what Id expect from just Eibachs. I used to put Eibachs only, in my cars. It made a nice difference but wasnt perfect to me. Thats why on the Viper I went with th motons. I love having the adjustabilty, you can set it up for what handles best but also tweak it so it looks perfect to the eye. I wanted perfect, in order to get that you need adjustable coilovers.

Looks good to me...spring kits generally allow a little more travel on the rear for squat under acceleration. I'm sure you can just dial it out if you wanted.

You can do KW's for about 1/3 of the price of the Motons, and you don't have to worry about remote reservoirs leaking, etc.
