Tokico D specs here w/ FRPP springs. BRM control arms/mounts/relocation brackets/panhard. Love it! 20x11 w/ 305 tires have never rubbed once. Shocks struts are adjustable from a nice soft ride to pretty harsh.

What about if I did strange single adjust upfront and Viking double adjust in the rear? Would that work? I ask because the tokico seem to be hard to find online and ain't cheap.....let me know I'm looking for best bang for buck. Riding around tonight high spread hitting bumps it's a little bouncy especially about back.

Bone, that would be an awesome combo. I sell quite a few suspension set-ups with that exact combo, and people love it.

Give ground control a call they have been awesome to deal with.

My viking shocks helped me get a 1.67 60' @ new england drag way on back to back runs on 20's ...highly impressed...can't wait to see how they do with some adjustable struts.

So I am close but still have a few questions. I'm going back and forth between the tokico d spec or a combo of strange front and Viking rear set up. I want double adjustable I think out back where I seem to get alot of bounce now and due to sitting pretty low up front I'd like to limit the rebound I believe. I have bmr shocks and will mainly be street use but wanted good handling. I don't want to be cheap but I can't afford a huge amount of money and probably would be a waste for a street car.

So on the rear double adjustable how easy is to do the adjustments with the wheels on the car and removing nothing to get to them in the Viking vs the tokico d spec?

Same with front in tokico d spec vs. strange?

Any other suggestions for a street car?

Side note....once BMR has the specific GT500 front springs ill be swapping m front springs.

The key for me is bang for buck, quality and ease of adjustability for a complete novice.

And if I do tokico d spec they appear to be on back order?

Thanks!

Post them pics man, I wanna see! D-specs are crazy easy to adjust, just open the trunk and turn. However, the ability to adjust both compression and rebound sure is appealing. I'll keep the D-specs up front and run the Vikings out back if they're easy to adjust.

bringing this back.... I wound up purchasing these double adjustable Viking rear shocks as well. I'm trying to get a feel for what settings I like for the street. I'm finding it hard to dial in a setting that will ride comfortable(IE smooth ride, no bouncing), and at the same time plant the rear drag radials hard when I get on it. FOR ME when I find a comfortable street setting it seems to have the compression on the low side, which I don't think will be good for putting the power down. I turn the compression up and it gets rater "springy" in the back. Any insight on street/track shock setting?
