hey guys wanted to ask a few questions on these. The rears look to have springs so you can delete the leaf spring. What about the rears? Do they also allow you to delete the leaf spring? Thanks!

If you do coilovers. This thread is about just the shocks
Just got mine tossed on the car this weekend.
I'm @660whp, before the shocks 1st would spin pretty hard, and 2nd would be OK with warmed up tires.
Now 2nds good all day, and 1st hooks pretty well, great with warm tires.
Very noticeable difference on my car.
When I 1st installed them, ride height was fine, but after a few hits and a day of settling, I had to adjust the bump stops on the leaf spring up a few turns, tires were rubbing the outer fender.
I love them, she's a weekend warrior, so during the week I'm @ 4/4 all around, then jump to a 14/4 and 4/14 for play time.
Thinking about picking up a set of these shocks. I'm currently on LG gt2 coil overs and I'm not hooking very well. Should I install the factory leaf spring with a set of Vikings or go with the crusader coil overs?

I'm on LG coilovers too and not thrilled with so if get a chance this fall I'll be swapping to some sort of double adjustable coilover setup like Crusaders too. please let us know how it works
Anyone know of a vendor I can order from / ask questions?
How about the actual manufacturers of the units. Very cool and friendly folks. http://vi-king.com/
They can answer any question you have on these. I've got their double adjustable coilovers and they rock!
I have these installed on my C5 Z06 (with blower, cam, etc) and they are great. Still trying to dial them in so I can hook 2nd with et streets. Call Viking directly, they have always been very friendly with me and my lack of suspension knowledge.

Joe@CPR is where I got mine and great price/service.
Still loving mine. ~12k on corvette and ~40k miles on mustang with viking DAs and zero issues. Also drove Joes car which is a 1150+rwhp c5 on the viking coil overs and it drove great.

how much whp are you putting down?
are you running the ET street R?
Got my viking full coilovers yesterday. Going on now. So far so good. Same thing just with springs instead of factory leaf. Shocks are identical besides being threaded for coilover.
