IPS143D Seat Lowering Kit Fixed 2" Driver Side 03-10 Vipers

Seat Lowering Kit – Fixed 2″  03-10 Vipers

This fixed seat lowering kit lowers the 03-10 SRT seat a full 2 inches, allowing extra knee room and headroom for even the tallest Viper driver. The seat will no longer slide forward or backwards, but the seat back can be tilted.

2008-2010 owners *** IMPORTANT AIRBAG FACTS ***

Decision regarding seat lowering and air bag operation for both seats on 08-10 SRT10 Vipers.

Both passenger seats have a new system in the Viper that will correctly determine the weight of an occupant and adjust the airbag to on or off. It has some criteria to be met though as it is MUCH more advanced than any system has been before it.

Between 65 and 105 pounds the system will determine the need for the airbag at all. This will be based on a correctly seated person! This is true for all the levels of adjustment. You must sit in the seat correctly and distribute your weight evenly in the seat without leaning for/aft or side to side. Within seconds after starting the car the system will “lock in” your values. If this is not done correctly and the light is incorrect for your weight it is best to exit the running vehicle and wait 2-6 minutes before re entering the vehicle. At 2 minutes the corrected value is 80% and as the minutes increase to 6 minutes the corrected percentage gets closer to 100. The system also monitors and updates your weight and “position” in the vehicle every 2 minutes after that.

At 120+ pounds the airbag will still be monitored by the system but will be in the ON mode. It is still critical that your weight is evenly distributed though as it senses this every 2 minutes.

This all being said if you install the seat lowering kit you will need to do the following:

Both seats have a position sensor located under the seat, that controls the air bag by proximity to the steering wheel for force adjustment.
If the seat is lowered and the switch is not installed correctly the force of the airbag is unknown but it WILL still deploy if the conditions are met for it.

 The seat position sensor (a metal proximity sensor), will need to be adjacent to metal when the seat is from midway to the far back position, so you will need to zip tied it to the metal frame of the seat. The purpose of this sensor is to either reduce the air bag charge, or turn the air bag off if the car is driven with the seat positioned all the way forward, being the seat lowering kit moves the seat all the way to the rear, the sensor will report the correct seat position. Also you will need to leave the pressure senor under the seat as-is.

*** All this information is a mute point though because you will be totally liable for the failure should you install this seat lowering kit. ***
