suspension

Got my Viper on a ramp to install new shafts and have noticed that the drivers side is sitting 20mm lower on the rear (no fat jokes please) any ideas welcome.

Mark, How many miles has the car done??

you are much bigger than me and it is possible that if the previous owner was a big chap and never carried passengers (thats common in a Viper) it is just settlement on one side only.

To cure the problem I suspect you would need a 20mm spacer in the rear as they are the softest springs I had greast trouble compressing the fronts,they would not settle that much.

Note if you do change the springs the guys in the US reakon not to lower the car if the 1/4 mile is the object. This apparently effects traction and take off (perhaps its why those quick cars are so high off the ground.

If you get stuck then I can always come over for a look.

Thanks Paul I have ordered some Eibach springs from JonB he said its a common fault caused by driver weight.These spring lower the rear 1" and the front 1/2"
