New shock/spring set up
I've currently got some Koni 4/4's and Strano springs on my Camaro, and I'm pretty much over having a lowered car haha. I'm looking to get more of a drag oriented shock and spring set up, and I'd like to get some more ground clearance. So far I've been looking around on here and it seems Afco, Strange, or Viking might be good choices, all in a DA style. I've read that since my car is stock weight for the most part, something like a 300# spring up front would do, what about the rears? I'm open to other shocks as well, those are just the three that seem to be fairly popular right now.

All My customers that have bought the AFCO's have been extremely happy with the adjustability and ease of set up.
The customers that bought Strange have been pleased but haven't been near as pleased as the AFCO customers.
I've tried to use the QA1's twice, neither time did the customers car make it out of the shop due to poor quality such as bent shafts or adjusters not functioning.
The only thing I've heard about Viking is its supposedly the QA1 people under a new name.
Call if You would like to discuss this further.
Thank You,

There are some differences in the ease of adjustments between the brands and I can give you the low down on all of them.

I ordered some of the new Viking coil overs for the front and shocks for the rear. Anybody on tech using these and care to share settings and some details on your car? I did some searching and I didnt see too many posts about them. From what Eric @ MWC said these will be very popular once some more people get ahold of them.
