Viking crusader or kelltrac ultra spec?

[DevonTK]

Getting to the point in the build I'm going to need some shocks. I hear kelltrac stuff is great from some people and that it's a gimmick from others. I am on the fence between the inverted kelltrac vikings or just some viking crusader rear shocks. What do most people recommend for a street/drag car that will live around 800-1000rwhp? I appreciate all the info o get here. I know i ask a lot of questions.

Ultra Spec Inverted give you more clearance from the axle dust boots. Non-inverted shocks are close to the boots and there is a risk of rubbing through them.

Another vote for Kelly at Kelltrac. Guy knows his stuff.

Sounds good. Ill order some of the ultra spec inverted ones.

Devon, happy to put you in contact with our build team if you want a 3rd opinion - we have had great on-track success with our coilovers & other spring/shock combos.

Send me your contact info to tim@steeda before you make a decent-sized investment - happy to help.

Best,

TJ

Do you think it's worth spending the extra money for the triple adjustable kelltrac ones?

I think that the double adjustable would give you plenty of options for dialing in your rear suspension. Triple adjustable may be a little better, but may be a bit more difficult to dial in.

Depends on what you are ultimately looking to accomplish & what you will be adding down the road - forums are hard to get the whole story & make a full recommendation.

I'm just trying to get my car to go 9.50ish and be able to drive it whenever I want.

I will be adding front coilovers eventually, built transmission, built shortblock and other random suspension stuff

I've been 1.22 60ft with a 305/45-17 radial with off the shelf crusaders. Maybe I could be quicker with keltrac, idk. 1.22 is almost at the limit of what I can do power wise....

What kind of power are you making to get you there?

Not real sure 13-1400 wheel I'd say.

Who built your motor? I'm thinking of going TKM or RPG. FfRE is a little more than I want to spend
