For the guys running the Viking shocks, are you using just the shocks or coil overs?
Debating between stock leaf springs and shocks or the full coil over setup.
Pros/cons?

Coilovers make life so much easier, and cut down on labor times for several powertrain/driveline builds in my experience.

On my c6 with 798whp the best setup this far is drm bilstein shocks w GM T-1 swaybars and that is miles better then my previus setups.

and i have tested.stock z51 then c6z06 swaybar + shocks and then bilstein sports with hot hotchkis swaybars.

never tested coilovers on corvette only car i tested that was a viper srt-10 i had and i did not like it but viper have a special handling not like corvette.

On the slicks, I can be almost 100% in 2nd from a low roll. Part of it depends on the road, asphalt=no, concrete=maybe. For sure all in 3 & 4th.
