Default Viking Coilovers

Anyone have experience in putting Viking coil overs on the front of their C3 Corvette? I am considering converting my73 to coil overs. Really like the concept of adjusting ride height. Comments appreciated....

I have them on my C2. They are nice. I drilled out the nuts on the shock mounting holes to use through bolts and had to do a hair of grinding to get them through the control arm opening...but otherwise very straightforward. I've run them from full loose to tightened down. Setting ride height is a nice feature.

No experience with the Viking coilovers but I just fitted QA1's from Vansteel and they were a breeze, hardest part was a stubborn ball joint.
