Viking DA Shocks for Rolll Racing
Well ordered some Viking DA shocks for my car. Can't find much if any feedback on them for vettes, so I'll be the guiney pig and see how they work. Seems like a good in between stock and $1800+ on full coilovers. I'm sure they won't do as well as a nice set of LG coilovers, but for a budget racer they maybe a nice ticket.
I put a set on my mustang and it was night and day. I'm loving them. Super plush ride, then rear under, turn a few ***** and dial them in for handling or drag. 18 way adjustable on compression and rebound, nice billet aluminum bodies.
Should be here in a week, then my DRM bilsteins go up for sale.

DRMs are great, and if you want mine, I got 1 other person wanting them but nothing set in stone. That being said, they are a little stiffer than stock and made for handling, not drag. Great for a heads/cam car, stock car. Makes cornering a lot better, and gets rid of the rear end walking around, but for my car and what I want, I need an adjustable shock that I can set to soft for racing, then stiffen up for the cruise to work.

Yeah talked to them a while back but they didn't offer anything at the time for the vettes. But was willing to work on it if I would send him some measurments or a set of shocks etc... So I'm curious how there going to work for you.

I know on the mustang it was night and day which is what made me call them and see what they offered. Should be here next week I hope. I'll post pictures/etc. Mustang guys love them and are doing crazy 60s on them. Build quality was great.

awesome, will be looking forward to hearing about your progress as you work on making the car hook up. I just got some LG coilovers for an insane (below cost) price due to unique situation so I'll also be going from stock z51 setup to LG coilovers and should be interesting.

I have both, but air works so much better for wheels and high torque stuff.
