Default Viking front coilover drag settings?

So I followed the instructions somewhat and I'm at a c16-r2. I definitely like how the front comes up now and transfers weight but I'm sure there is a better setting to optimize traction. It's launching with much less spin then before but I'd like to get it dialed in. What settings are you guys running?

Compression doesnt mean jack unless its lifting and then dropping. The biggest thing is R because that controls lift when you launch. If im on a really good surface I can come up some to r5 to keep the front wheels on the ground but on the street it's always r0 for maximum traction. C yeah about 15, just do that to preference if the car isnt unloading after launch.

Yea I'm spinning right off the get go so I was thinking about turning it to zero for the street and see how good it hooks and the track and start turning it up there. Thanks for the reaponse 01

Just had my car scaled on a drive on lift. Chassis guy was playing with it and ended up setting the rear at 0 and 0. Front he set compression at 6 and rebound at 2. Made 2 passes the next day and it left good. He's gonna ride up with me next time and help dial it in


It left pretty good last year also at Vikings recommend settings

From what you are describing, you need to be addressing the rear suspension, not the front. Sounds like it is doing its job. You need to look at control arm and torque arm angles and such now

True statement. Seems like everything needs to be really dialed in with these cars.
