Default Viking warrior shocks

Does anyone have experience with Viking Warrior shocks? They are a bit pricey but say they are fully adjustable. Just looking for some feedback on them. Thanks My cars a 1987 Vert

Supposedly a good shock. I know of one guy with a set on a C4 that is auto-x'ed. If I ever kill the Koni's I might give them a try.

I run them on my drag car. I've had the fronts for 3yrs now. Viking sells a very good shock for the money.

I have been 8.43@161MPH in the 1/4 mile with them but honestly I'm well beyond the kind of power the Warrior valving package is designed for. Still they are doing a good job.

It's time for me to upgrade and I have been so happy with Viking that I am staying with them and upgrading to their Crusader valving coilovers on the front this winter.

Viking shocks are awesome! We use them in the shop on our customer's cars whenever we can. Never had a complaint but have received a lot of positive feedback! Pricey; yes. Worth it? Definitely!

The Flaming River shocks sold by Summit are actually re branded Viking,
Viking was started by ex QA1 people just for info, thats probably why the shocks look so similiar.

is the chain so no-one steals your suspension ?

He is likely limiting suspension droop with it.
