strange sa vs viking coilovers... Hey guys i have an 01 ws6 m6 with 4.10s and full suspension. Currntly i have strange sa front shocks with 300 lb springs and rears i have comp engineering 3 ways with stock springs and hh mod. I am wondering how much better the viking front coilovers that are double adjustabld and rear bolt in double adjustable shocks will be. Ws6store is having a huge sale for black friday and this would be my time to buy. If i wont see much improvement ill put that money towards my turbo build instead. My best 60 fts were a 1.7x on 26x11.5.x15 hoosier qtps

Depends on the tire really. If you continue to use the bias tire the Strange singles will be a definite improvement, but the ability of full control with the double adjustable shock will always prove to get the best performance. We generally lean toward the double adjustable on all 4 corners with any M6 car as there is a lot of movement inthe suspension during gear changes compared to a A4 car.
Viking only makes double adjustable shocks due to their aggressive pricing and industry best 2yr warranty.

yes it spun, it was also my first time to the track and 1.7 was the very best I got. majority were 1.8x and higher. this was at 5k rpms slipping. when I first got there I was getting to crazy with the clutch and almost dumping it providing 2.xx 60 fts lol. I deff need more seat time, but if I need better shocks etc I would buy them this weekend as most vendors are having great sales

This is true...Ask me how I know...
Eric was an awesome guy to deal with. I felt bad for the guy in a way, because I know he's insanely busy, but he still took the time to guide me through my order and even talk some go fast stuff with me. New MWC customer for life here.
Getting back to your topic, I really struggled with my decision of Koni DA w/ BMR springs during the infamous Koni sale earlier. Really wanted the give Viking a chance, and I do find the story of the company intriguing, given the the former CEO of QA1 started Viking Performance. I had a good buddy with Viking suspension, and after a ride in his car I was quickly convinced that anything short of AFCO, I'd go with Viking. I'm also gearing up for a turbo build myself....
