Viking double adjustable settings or DA's in general

[Wings65288]

Those with these type of shocks what settings are you using at the drag strip? Their recommended setting for "weight transfer" is about 4 compression (low setting) and 12 for rebound (medium setting).

They have another option for "front tie-down" but I don't think we use that.

I'll be honest I still never figured these things out. Where did you find the recommendations?

 

[Wings65288]

Lol yeah I was on my way to the track Saturday and I got a nail in my slick so I couldn't test them out. But anyway they came with these instructions on this gray pamphlet. I'll take a picture of the settings when I get home in a couple hours and show you what I'm talking about.

Aside from all that I LOVE the coilover feature and being able to adjust the ride height to whatever I want.

there is definitely a noticeable difference in the ride once you pass the threshold of being too tight or too loose

I'm in the same boat. Just installed the front coilovers / rear shocks and still trying to figure out a street setup. Hopefully, I can test them out at the track soon.

So it looks like you want some compression on the fronts. I haven't installed my fronts yet tho so I'm only messing with the rear.

As for rear goes here's what they recommend... Oh and I leave everything on "0" setting when driving around town because that's what they recommend to help with the life of the shock.

Also with my old setup I only did 1 pass and got a 1.578 60 foot. That was with Koni shocks/struts and H&R super sport springs with 28" Mickey Thompson slicks aired down to 12.5 psi. Started at 3K and dumped it.

I'm hoping with these double adjustables I can get into the 1.4x's

 

[BlckBox04]

what's your font set up

 

[Wings65288]

H&R super sports with the koni's from Maximum Motorsports. I have the fronts adjusted to medium/comfort. Also I'm on a solid rear axel.

I still need to install my front Viking setup but want to get tubular a-arms to cut 10 more pounds off the front

 

[Wings65288]

I guess I just really wanna see how guys are setting up their rearend as far as compression/rebound goes. I was GONNA start with 4 compression and 12 rebound and see how that goes... I tried it on the street and it felt great
