Viper seems a little light / unsettled at speed ...

Car has the 3/8 drop spring caps and the added weight of the blower. Had the car aligned after but still does not feel planted..

Does anyone have a better alignment set up other than the factory set up.. Fast street driving weekend use only..

Thanks for your help

Just do not forget to adjust your factory konies to stiffer setting and have a bmw like alignment with more camber done it will do the trick.

caps are a band aid, a dangerous one at that, you get what you pay for here- you dont get proper function of your suspension handling, period.... just trying to help maybe , i would never drive a car at high speeds with caps or lower springs after my exsperiance with them, those parts are for slow cruiseing only

I have lowering springs on my 95 and have no high speed handling problems. Had it to 150 mph with no problems. I also have tracked it with no problems. I had Tomball Dodge align mine.
