Hey guys I need your help.... I installed a set of Vikings DA shocks on the rear. What settings do you guys start off on? The car is a 4th gen Camaro I've been tweaking with the suspension but im having hard time getting this thing to hook. The car is a weights 3650 with driver. The car setup is front mount turbo with 4l80e leaving on the Trans Brake I have the pinion set at -3 I have LCA's with brakets and Adj TA. Shocks are QA1 single adjustables R singles with 300lb springs and the rear the DA Viking shocks with stock springs. Tires are MT slicks set at 12psi. Seems like I'm getting some what of seperation between tire and body but it just breaks the tires loose out the hole. What settings should I start with on the rear shock with a slick? Thanks!

 

Chances are your tire pressure is too low, and you need to work on power management. Not one magic thing is going to make your car hook, you need to get a good baseline that works and tune into it.

 

Thanks I'll make those changes but as for the rear shocks what's a "baseline" setting for the rears? Just to get me started I understand everycar will be different...

 

Without more info or seeing the car run C=12 R=15. Run front shocks pretty loose on rebound, pretty firm on compression to start.

 

I do have some vids of the car launching I'll post them up as soon as I can... What other info would you need?

 

I would just keep playing with the settings and see what works. Keep a log of all the different settings you've tried and what the car did with each of those settings. It will take a while, but you'll get it dialed in.
