Looking to buy a Stiffer Rear Shock set.

do you want the coil overs ? it;s always safe to measure the mounting points for the shock after you have the ride height you want

I'm just now in the process of installing the coilover mounts, which is a whole other story. The rear is up on jack stands on the frame, so when I put the tires back on I'm going to raise the rearend to where I think the ride height needs to be and then measure it. I got adjustable mounts from BMR, so I have a couple inches to play with. BMR is recommending the C217 (shorter) or the C207's, but I'm just wondering what others have used. I guess it really depends on the mounts.

Do you remember the part number for your shocks? I'm looking at C217 or C207 but I'm not sure yet. There's about an inch of ride height difference. It looks like you have yours screwed up pretty far.

Call Viking - their customer service is fabulous.

I like to hear that. I've been having some shaky customer service issues lately with a couple different companies related to this project. Once I get a good measurement I'll give them a call, thanks.

I called them when I bought my 1st set of DA Warriors. The rep was extremely helpful with initial settings for street and track use. The Warriors worked extremely well until 800-900whp. I contacted them when I needed something more and they directed me to my current shocks. I have zero complaints - Viking has not lead me astray. Currently running Crusaders with AJ valving designed for separation. And these are shocks, not coilover shocks. I’m running springs from Rock Auto lol.

I could dig them up but I think you are assuming we have the same lower mounting points, spring rate, car weight and coil spring length.

Each one of those things will effect adjuster position.

My uppers are stock. If you measure the distance between your upper and lower mount at your desired ride height. I can help you chose a spring length.
