Looking to upgrade my rear shocks car is 98ss m6 500rwhp slicks and skinnies sfc bmr non adjustable torq arm stock springs and shocks. I guess with the non adjustable torq arm I cant mess with ride height plus I dont have alot of room with the 28s tires in rear

The best without spending cubic $ would be afco double adj.

How about Viking DA's @ $189 each. Huge adjustment range, bolts on in stock location.

Never heard of these...... How do they compare to qa1s double adjustable?Im not really on a budget but saving money is nice but I want to do it right........ Will the pinion angle change if I use stock springs?

Pretty sure a guy from qa1 builds the Viking shocks now. I may give them a try for the price. There pretty new on the market. So be a guinea pig and report back haha.

Yes, the former Pres and VP from QA1 and a top notch engineer operate Viking. Their dampers are similar to QA1 with some nice additional features. So, there's no guinea pig involved. We've sold a few hundred sets with zero complaints and actually some nice, positive feedback. We also have their stuff on most of our house cars with great results.

Pinion angle changes with ride height but should remain proper, unrelated to the shocks, unless you change ride height dramatically.

If you prefer a more sophisticated damper we are also a top Afco dealer. Although twin tube, double adjustables are great for the cost, some customers want or require big piston monotubes...

So do Vikings have the issues of the qa1's

What are the problems with the qa1s?

UMI Sales

iTrader: (1)

QA1's used to have leaking trouble. In the past few years, with lots of new engineering and technology talent there, most of the issues are gone. We have very few leakers and QA1 supports us nicely.

Viking has a bit of a seal tune-up and in general is a nice unit as well.

Awesome! LCA relocation would be a good idea as well. After that you can look at some front shocks, if you haven't already.

WVhuggerSS

Thanks for the info Ramey, you're always a good guy to talk to on here, Those Vikings are still looking good to me!

anymore feed back on these? looking at them for my car, but would like to hear some real world results whether good or bad. these look attractive for price but always skeptical when comes to buying parts.
