Viper on Air!!

[darren@ridetech]

Check out the latest project we just finished for a customer. It has Double Adjustable Shockwaves front and rear and the new LevelPro compressor system.
What do you guys think?

Yea, email them to me. [email protected]
I've had a few customers install Shockwaves on Vipers in the past, but this is the first one done in house.

bahhh, i bet it drives like a school bus now. Everyone knows air springs don't handle for crap!

looks awesome!

[ProStreet R/T]

How does it handle? I know a guy who has an all white GTS that is SLAMMED with coilovers and he was pondering going to an air ride setup. You guys doing anything for the gen II cars?

Posting links cause pics are massive:

Personally, I don't like it, but if thats what you're into it's pretty trick.

We can certainly still do your gasser with the straight axle too!

The viper looks bitchin!!! any info on the complete setup and what controls it's using? Pics of it at ride height would be cool too

What do you guys think?

Well, since you asked... I'm with this guy.

To me, it looks "broken".

I like a stance that makes me think "Holy crap, that's low... does he really drive it that way?" rather than "Holy crap, it's sitting on the ground... did he land a jump wrong?"

To many episodes of The Dukes of Hazard will do that to you! Besides... when you start looking at serious cars... From prostock, the saltflats to Road coarse cars... they are damn near sitting on the deck. Even look at a lot of the Vintage Trans-am cars they are racing again and those cars are low.

A salt flats racer runs on pretty flat surfaces.
A Pro-Stock racer runs on very flat surfaces.
Road Course cars have one of two things, either wheel travel or big tire sidewalls.
Your snake seems to lack both. What does your customer plan to do with that thing?

I think you'll find considerable space between car and pavement. Wheel travel is sorta important.

Im betting on parking it and looking cool doing so.

[Tony@AirRideTech]

That car has plenty of travel!...... it is at its deflated height in those pictures. Ride height is just a tick under stock height.

You're right, but those cars are set up for that. That bagged car is not, and I would venture to say that, the bagged car, at that ride height, handles like the Titanic compared to a Viper Comp Coupe.

Pics just for fun

Looks Fast!

Compared to

Looks broken

[ProStreet R/T]

You can't really go comparing a comp coupe to a production car, but even so it has to handle like ass compared to the stock coil spring setup. But it's pretty evident the owner isn't going to drive it hard anyway so I doubt it matters.


As well, saying that those other race cars sit super low to the ground. Umm yeah, last I checked they didn't have speed bumps and steep driveways in the middle of race tracks.


I love vipers, and done properly they look amazing sitting super low, but that one definitely does not. ehh I guess it takes all kinds.

need to bolt some titanium blocks under that bad boy, so it throws pretty sparks when he is draggin' plastic...

I know it's apples to oranges, but if you look at Tony's arguement that's exactly what he was comparing.

As for it being an apples and oranges comparison, I don't think that the Comp Coupe it "that" far off, from the street version. As I assume the suspension pick up points are the same, or at least it's not as differant as the Speed GT CTS-V is to the Street version.
