Well I thought I would share some pics from the event yesterday. The 325lb front springs make the car really low especially with the race rubber. After the event I found that the tires barely rubbed the wheel well liner. I really wish I had the stock ride height, but they made the springs wrong.
Waiting to GO
Practically lift one wheel!!!!
In the "Chicago box"
Nice viper that was there

Who made your springs?
Did you get a thumbs up from the Viper driver? :scratch: :thumbleft:

Well I had the springs made at Coil Spring Specialties after hearing about them on the Racing list. I ordered them in late Feb. and it took until the beginning of June for them to be done. When I ordered I told them I just wanted the 325lb rate, stock ride height. Somehow they got the order wrong and made them for a 1" drop. So when I finally got the springs I noticed that on the box it said 1" drop on it and then called them up. They said they could "fix" them to normal ride height if I sent them back so I did. Just from me guessing, I would bet the car is 1-1.5" lower than it was before the springs. I should have measured the car before I changed the springs, but I didn't.
thumbs?? Ha ha, no. But when I first got there the guy came over and was asking questions about my car, what I had done to it, etc. Even noticed the strut relocation for the 88 cradle.
