I wanna hear some first hand experience as well. Compared to anything else they're a steal.

they sell the Viking/Strange/Afco. Viking being the cheaper of the 3 and Afco being the most.

The Viking shocks come with a industry best 2 year warranty against defects of material and workmanship.

hes had zero issues with Viking so far.

im sure my pricing if diff then others since mine includes- coilovers front and back, transverse shocks mounts, spanner wrench and shipping to me. 100% bolt on kit.

I'm in the market right now for a pair of front single adjustable shocks. What's the cost on a pair of Viking?

From what I understand the former CEO of QA1 is now part owner of Viking shocks. I think you can expect the same quality as a QA1 or possibly a little bit better. Do they compare to a Strange or an AFCO........No. However, that doesn't make them a bad shock because not everyone is at that stage with their car.

From MWC- "They area relatively new company, but the owner worked for QA1 before and made vast improvements with his design. Very personable people as well."
