Vikings suitable for daily driving?

[West TX GT]

I have see it mentioned a couple times that Vikings were not a good idea for daily driving. Is there a durability issue or another problem with them? I know they may make extra noise but is that the only reason? I was thinking of mating them with BMR drag rears and minimum drop fronts. Will this thing handle like a pig with that mix?

I have put a total of about 39,000 miles on Viking shocks with no issues at all.

Just put a full set on my 2016, front and rear. They ride great and I still to this day have not had the rattle or click that some people claim to have.

Good to hear. Are you running the front coilovers? If so what are you using for the rear?

 

[KellTrac]

Front coilovers with 300lb springs.

Rear shocks with 980lb springs.

I’m curious too. Casual driver and maybe drag here n there. 19 PP1 car with a bunch of rear end goodies and BMR drag springs. Trying to decide if I really need the crusaders or just go with the koni sport adjustable rear shocks. Looking to make the ride better in the rear. Thoughts?

Meh.... nevermind. I put crusaders on today. Sounds like someone stirring mac n cheese in the back when I hit dips or bumps. Hahahaha

I got full drag set up on my car, rear adjustable shocks and front adjustable shocks with camber plates and bias ply on all 4 tires. Bit bouncy at times but overall they drive fine on street and no issues

Other than the sound is it an improvement? Is the sound bad enough that you will remove them?

It’s just squish and rebound sounds. Radio on you don’t hear it. With stock bushings it may be gone. I’m running the Steeda upper shock mounts in the rear.
