Strange Struts Viking Shocks Question

[whiplash920]

Those of you running this set-up, what setting for the front struts (single adjustable Stranges') and then what setting for compression and rebound for the rears (Viking dual adjustable) - for street driving. Thanks!

i just searched that exact thing the other day and found a ton of results... really depends on your suspension, type of bushings, weight of the car and what you looking to do with the car. Do a search but more importantly just try what feels best on you car. IMO.... that is a great setup. im a more straight line drag race type of guy so my car is set up to plant the rear tires hard.... its a lil bouncy tho on the street. 5r 12c on the vikings.... but like i said to many factors here to just throw out shock and strut adjustment numbers blindly. kelly from BMR knows all about this shit

for a starting point with those at the track i ran a 6R 12C driver side and 8/14 passenger side, for the street I just halved it and was good with that. this was for the rears. I have some strange dbl adjustable for the front coming soon and ill get the settings for those.

5 on the stranges. 4/4 on the doubles on my 07 GT500

thanks for the responses. Viking manufacturer sent settings for drag racing based on rwhp levels, plus with some of the advice here, i have a great starting point for the strip.

Ive read that you want the front and rear settings to be close as it will affect handling on the street. Since the struts/shocks are 2 different brands, i was trying to figure what others with this setup have done for the street that allows for good handlng as well. I will be erroring on the side of increased stiffness (we're talking street use, not strip) as the front tires rub a bit on the inside of the fenders at spots with medium sized or larger bumps. was hoping that the new struts along with the steeda springs i have will help prevent that rub.

thanks!
