Default Looking For Shock Advise

Looking to put new shocks on my '00 C5. I do a lot of drag racing and would like to get something more drag oriented. I don't want to go coil overs, as then I can't run any stock-style suspension races.

Suggestions?

Have you checked out Viking?

They manufacture an affordable double adjustable smooth body shock that would be a great upgrade for drag racing.

I agree Vikings would be a good choice for your car.

Any suggestions where I could find them? I have placed several inquiries to them about becoming a dealer or even to find a dealer and have never received a response.

I have been looking at their VSK318DH for a while now, but don't even have a clue on its cost lol.

We are one of Vikings largest dealers if not the largest so we can surely hook you up with a good deal.

The 318 is a crusader series shock,without talking to you but seeing your signature it sounds like Crusaders that get into 4 digits on the rebound would work best for you on the rear along with warriors on the front.

If you give me a call direct at extension 101 i can get you pricing and discuss in more detail what your doing with the car, there are a few valving options available that are drag specific.
