No they won't. With that said they will fit with some machining.

your best bet is to just look for ohlins. to get them in the right place, you need to install a srx front cast section, then use brackets to mount them up where the stock viper mount was. I make these brackets but it is alot of work changing the cast section. the problem is the stock cast mount is located in the place where that shock needs to bolt.

the resivours will need to be machines on both sides of it to narrow it up to fit in the lower mounting spot on the ifs bar. The top just get brackets for srx or vmax and drill a while in the chassis and bolt down and then put the original bolt through the original shock spot on the viper. so close to doing this but i found triple rate springs for my viper so i just used those. will be next on the list

where are you finding those apex shocks? im in need of some. For $500 I would have the stockers revalved and resprung. If you must have resis they can be added.
