    I take it you already have transverse shock mounts? I haven't seen the viking up close but anything bearing lower seems to need em.

    viking rears are on the way - bearing mount lower and threaded body incase I want to go coil over in the future.

    Eric@MWC said they should be here by friday - if the weather holds I'd like to make some hits on Sunday.

    Ya you can't really beat vikings for the dough. .. I got dual afco coil overs front and rear on mine and I probably have around 1600 between shocks springs hardware and Torrington bearings.

    You have big money though... get some penskes

    Sucks tto hear Jeremy. I'm getting my car out for the first time in 3 years next Friday!

    Vikings or afco's.

    Vikings are the best bang for the buck.

    I thought it was fine since you couldn't push the rear down when they were tight. But it's junk. Guess the anti-roll bar was working.
    What are you going to put in? I'm thinking of swapping, to those vikings that Jim has, this winter..

    They have the adapter that reduces it to 3/8 or what ever for the bolt hole.

    2" shock extensions on the way

    Figure with that and removing the isolater I can get almost 4" of downward travel.

    Son of a .............

    found the issue - shocks only have 1.25" of downward travel from ride height.

    They are bottoming out.
