Question 4 gen Viking shocks set up ???

Hello guys, I never experienced before with shocks adjustment. I have some questions that I like to discus here. First I going to describe the car mods so you have a general idea. 02 Camaro stock motor ,1 3/4 LTH with mufflex 4", SLP CAI with SSRA, subframe conectors,BMR tubular K Member, ASP Pulley, Bogart drag pack with 275/50/15 MT DR SS, Performabuild L2 with 4k Yank, adj. Sphon short TA, tubular non adj LCA,( this week Im building a 8.8 hybrid with 3.73) and I going to Install a Nitrous Outlet Kit with 150HP shot.

The car ran 12.75@111 with the parts that have bold letters with a best of 1.94 60' time with 3.42 gears

Now i bought a set of double adjustable rear Vikings not coli over.
The rear shocks only can make a good deference in my 60' times or I need the front to?
If I start the rears first ,what setting is the best to start a base line set up?
How big of a difference can be if I have the front ones too?
My goal is to make a average of low 1.6s .
Thanks in advance for the help.

Wow.Can be that difficult?

I'm hearing many different opinions. Some people said set the compress valve to hard like 10 (hard) and rebound like 8-9. Others said i need to let the car squad to set the compress to like 3-5 (soft) rebound like 4 to let the car transfer weight slowly.
I just looking to see what have been the experience with people using double adjustable shocks.

there are a lot of variables involved in shock tuning. The best thing I can recommend is to video the car launching and record tire pressure, shock settings etc and e-mail it all to me at eric@bmrsuspension.com and I can help dial it in

Are you going to have lower control arm relocation brackets on your new rear end?
