DISCLAIMER

Any vehicle modifications using performance products will likely cause your vehicle to behave differently than stock. In particular, those modifications which increase horsepower and/or torque will result in the potential for increased acceleration and top speed. You should take the time to slowly and carefully familiarize yourself with these differences. There is no such thing as too much driver training. You acknowledge by placing an order with West Coast Viper that you have substantial experience in driving a high performance vehicle and that you also recognize that modifications to your vehicle might affect your warranty coverage. Always use common sense and safe driving practices while using performance enhancing products.

NEITHER WEST COAST VIPER nor any of its officers, directors, shareholders and/or employees assumes any liability and/or risk associated with your use of any and all products sold by WEST COAST VIPER and/or installed by WEST COAST VIPER.

		Eibach Pro-Spring Kit - $289.00 [View Product] Lower your car and get rid of that awful gap above the rear tire below the fender. This kit lowers your car approx 1" and maintains the stock firm ride. Call for installed price.



		Eibach Springs - $80.00 [View Product] You can call us and describe the height and rates of your desired springs and we will then order you EXACTLY what you want. Call for details. Price is per spring.



		JRZ & Moton Rebound Adjustment [View Product] The rebound adjuster is located on top of the piston rod. It has a range of approximately 16 positions. To adjust the shock or strut turn the brass hex knob 1/6 of a turn at a time. (clockwise softens; counter clockwise stiffens) The shock or strut should be in the "0" position (full clockwise) and should be adjusted to a basic setting from which you can establish a base line for adjustment. The "0" position on the rebound is achieved by turning the brass hex knob clockwise until you cannot turn it any further. (CAUTION: once it stops turning DO NOT force it any further) When installing the shock or strut on the car for the first time, the rebound adjuster should be set at seven clicks from "0". (This is equal to one full turn of the brass hex knob)



		JRZ & Moton Compression Adjustment [View Product] The compression adjusters are located on the top of the canister. They adjust two different areas of shock velocity. (The small knob adjusts the low speed velocity and the large knob adjusts the mid range velocity). The small knob has a range of 6 adjustments and the large knob has a range of 15 adjustments. To adjust the shock or strut turn the knobs one click at a time. (Clockwise softens; counter clockwise stiffens). When installing the shock or strut on the car for the first time, the low speed adjuster (The small knob) should be set at 3 clicks from "0" and the mid range adjuster (The large knob) should be set at 5 clicks from "0". PROCEDURE Turn the low speed adjuster knob clockwise until it stops. (NOTE: it may be necessary to hold the mid-range knob, not allowing it to turn, while making this adjustment). This is the "0" position. From this position turn the knob counter clockwise 3 clicks. The low speed adjustment is now set. Now turn the mid-range adjuster knob clockwise until it stops. (NOTE: when turning the mid-range knob the low speed knob will also turn. DO NOT try to prevent this from happening; this will have no effect on the setting of the low speed adjuster). The adjuster is now in the "0" position. From this position turn the knob counter clockwise 5 clicks. The mid-range adjustment is now set.



		Race Power Steering Cooler - $49.94 [View Product] With road course track use, the stock Viper power steering system can overheat, damaging seals and causing the pump to fail. We have an upgraded 4 pass aluminum cooler available that replaces the smaller original one. This helps eliminate the overheating problem and extends the life of your power steering system. Direct bolt on for 1996 and newer.



		JRZ Suspension - $4,449.95 [View Product] Operation The JRZ damper is a state of the art, aluminum bodied, gas-pressurized damper with remote reservoir. Utilizing a unique valving system, the damper provides fine, firm damping control combined with excellent ride, handling, and powerdown characteristics, extending tire life and performance considerably. The controls for the independent adjustable rebound and compression forces are located on top of the piston rod for rebound and on the remote reservoir for compression damping. The rebound adjuster operates an adjuster wheel at the bottom of the piston rod, closing off or opening up more orifices drilled into the piston rod, which offers precise rebound adjustment with 15 different positions. The compression is two-way adjustable. One adjuster operates the very low velocity range by selecting different size orifices (6 positions), and a second adjuster takes care of the mid-range velocity of the curve by changing the preload on the blow-off valve (15 positions). The system uses a remote gas/fluid reservoir, combining the best features of a monotube high-pressure gas damper for rebound control, and the compression control of a twin tube gas pressurized system. The JRZ design allows the engineer to vary the gas pressure from a low of 4 bar to a high of 20 bar, supporting the sprung weight with a force ranging from 15.2kg to 75.8kg, which offers stability without over damping the suspension and without making use of packers unnecessarily. The basic valving of the JRZ damper offers an excellent compromise damping characteristic for most cars using spring rates from 300lbs/inch to 1200 lbs/inch. For higher or lower spring rates we recommend discussing your specific requirements with our engineering department to find the correct valving. The valving system is very sensitive and reacts to small setting changes. One sweep of rebound or one click of bump provides enough of a change for the driver to feel the difference in handling. Bear in mind that a damper is a component working in a complex system and has to be tuned to the other components in the suspension system to deliver optimal performance. How JRZ Dampers Are Different - And Better Simply put, what's different about a JRZ shock is that it's a better design. All changes to the valving are made by making adjustments on the outside of the shock - meaning you don't have to take the shocks apart every time you change track conditions. Modern race cars rely on ground effects, or downforce, to generate higher corner speeds and to generate grip. The suspension is expected to use very little travel in order to keep the aerodynamic changes to a minimum. The JRZ damping design provides maximum fluid displacement at small suspension travels, responding to the slightest movement of the suspension, supporting the aerodynamic efficiency and providing excellent mechanical grip and damping control at low and high-speed running. To achieve those excellent characteristics, the JRZ suspension system utilizes design features such as: Large 22mm piston rod for direct response compression control Large 46mm piston for direct response rebound control Large non-preloaded deflective disc stack for traction and smooth damping control Orifice rebound adjustment for exact fluid control Unique compression valving system in fluid/gas reservoir Large gas volume capable of accepting large fluid displacements without harshness Unique orifice adjustment for precise compression damping tuning Very responsive damping force adjustment system JRZ dampers require very little maintenance. The unique combination of valve stack, orifice adjustment and compression damping characteristics have proven to be very effective over a wide range of track conditions. There is no need to revalve the damper every time the racecar runs on a another track. However, when necessary, the damper can be rebuilt in a very short time by team technicians.
