I bailed on the Viking setup....just not enough info from guys running them.
I went with MM coil-over#350 front and #500 rear w/Bilstein HDs hoping it will be a good "all purpose" set up.

Just assembled mine. Waiting for warm weather to install them. Wish I waited and got them from lethal. I got a “special price” off of Facebook and ended paying $50 more.

I believe you purchased your Vikings through me on Facebook. Contact me and I will refund you anything over the "intro" price. There was some confusion when we introduced these to the market and I apologize for that... Contact me through Facebook

Curious when I look at the bottom of the shock with the coilovers there is no rubber or poly around the lower shock eye lid.

But yet on the da shock non coilover it has poly or rubber around the lower eye lid. Any reason for this just something I noticed even the stock bilstein has a poly or rubber isolator in the bottom shock mount.

Is this because of the spring and all the weight now being on the single mount?

How do I know if I ordered the standard height or lowered height set up?

Didn't know there were 2 options

14" spring is standard to 1.5 inch drop. 12 inch spring is 1.5 to 3 inch.

The Crusader shock's are "race" valving intended for cars over 600+ RWHP. That doesn't mean all 600+ HP cars need the crusaders. It all depends on the car and how often you race. If you race all the time, I always recommend the Crusaders. If you're more of a street/strip car, the Warriors will work just fine for most.

That being said, if your looking for the best drag racing setup, the Crusaders will be the better option.

I don't have any examples with the IRS kits yet. I've sold a couple crusader kits to guys up north but they're still dealing with snow. Here in sunny Florida, we don't have that problem lol ;)

Stock shocks/struts, T56, IRS w/ 16” Hoosier slicks. He had VMP and I had a Whipple 2.9. Both ran 6.4-6.5 in 1/8 and I had a few 10.0’s in 1/4. 700+rwhp on e85. We both had pro level shafts, FTBR bushings and iron differentials. 3.73 gears.

The ironic part is I’ve since spent a bunch of time/money on adj shocks/struts, front coilovers, etc and still haven’t beat that 1.44 60’.

That’s very impressive!

Anyone know where the 2 spacers go. Do they mount between the coil over and mount on bottom?

The spacers install between the lower control arm and shock. The show will hit he lower control arm without the spacer.

So have had these on for a bit. The ride is great. But the problem I have is right height with passengers. It drops bad I like to put my kids in the back and when I do the car drops bad in the back. And car scrapes bad Almost like the spring just can’t handle the weight. Even with the shocks turned all the way up to stiffest setting. Am I adjust them correctly?
