Daddio - sweet new ride!

Love your break-in style.

Looks to me like it was lowered about an Inch.

Tim,
Nice color combo and I love the way you break in your car. I'm going the Pockets style of breaking my baby in - in the garage. :rofl

When I took the picture the car was on the factory ride height setting, I have lowered it to 100/130mm but since the car is scraping a little so I'll have to raise it up to about 110/140mm. I find the suspension very bouncy, not harsh but it bounces up and down a lot more than the GT w/ Motons, my Lotus w/ Ohlins, and my Evo w/ JIC. I went 1/2 way stiff w/ the compression and rebound settings but found it way too harsh for the street (garage). What is your exact setting? And would you mind sharing more of your driving impression for track as well as street.

Saw Rocman's snake yesterday at SEMA, one bad boy....very very hot!
Congrats on your newest toy.

Hmmmmm. Interesting conversation about "snake" pics.

Sometimes it's better to just not to ask for details...

I re-set my car to lower it 7/8th inches front and rear, and set the damping and pre-load on both ends exactly in the middle of Dodge's recommended stock and street settings. Vipers tend to "bounce" a bit, most of the bounce is amplified by the springs in the seat cushions! I am in Arizona, and don't have the sheet handy, but if you look at your ACR book and set your rebound and compression using the number of clicks between street and track it removes much of the "bounciness" that you are expereincing. I am quite happy with the set-up and will test it on the track. I think it is a good compromise for street and track use and will require little adjustment at the track.
