I got some Viking rears a few weeks ago and love the look and quality. I only drove the car once with them installed but really like the ride. They are double adjustable and you can set them up for ride comfort, drags, or autoX.

For the price/quality ratio, I think Viking is damn difficult to beat on these cars. Bought my set from MWC, best price I could find. 550LB front springs for corner carving. Summer should be fun...

I agree with Jake and Eric. Determine your budget first. Afco's are AWESOME and I damn near shelled out the big money to get them, but for my setup, I just couldn't justify the added cost for the higher end Afco's vs. the Double Adjustable Vikings. I also debated Strange, but in the end, chose to go Viking and their industry leading two year warranty.

If the Vikings are anything like QA1s then corner carving will not be too much fun... Are they even gas charged?
Also, koni shocks have a lifetime warranty(and FAR superior handling and ride than anything you mentioned), there is nothing industry leading about a two year warranty...
