Softer Viper ride
My 93 Viper has what I consider a smooth ride. My 2006 SRT-10 coupe's ride is harsh and bumpy, and consequently hurts my back. The new car has the run flat tires. What can be done to give my new Viper a smoother, more comfortable ride?

Re: Softer Viper ride
PS2's and check the tire forums here. Motons maybe.

Re: Softer Viper ride
Wow! My impression was just the opposite. My older RT/10 was a little too firm and harsh. At VOI9 I was amazed at how plush and comfortable the SRT Coupe was. Maybe it was just the seats, but I think the SRTC would be better for a long haul.

Re: Softer Viper ride
I put a 1" seat lowering kit in my SRT and it made a world of difference in comfort. For some reason it felt much more comfy after the kit was installed.
(Was also nice to be able to look out the center of the windshield.)

Re: Softer Viper ride
Loosing the run flats and installing the new PS2s will definately take some of the harshness out of the ride.

Re: Softer Viper ride
Not all of us are rough here!! Ditto to Venomiss--PS2's. The Viper is BORN to be a rough ride, however....it's what we expect. ~juli

  Guess you'd have to contact Michelin for that question, or Luke from TireRack? Possibly JonB also might know from partsrack. ~juli
