I feel my Mageride shocks might not be applying pressure evenly on the rear tires on hard hits. So, which shock allow adjusting the adjusting the downward pressure load from left rear to right rear tires?
** Can adjusting the left sway bar end link pressure help even the hit?
Thanks

It just prevents body roll on launch. This isn't a live axle we're talking about. IF you make one side stiffer than the other with an IRS weird things will happen. You need to slow down the squat. So something like 800lb springs in the back, minimum. MAGride shocks are about the worse you can use for drag racing IMO.

Gonna need some double adjustable shocks out back. The only problem is, you’ll have to perform the workaround (install resistors to keep the PCM happy), in order to use them on your Magneride suspension. I did this on my 2019 Bullitt, along with BMR Magneride drag springs and it works great (no warning lights or codes).

How do you like your viking shocks? Can you adjust them?
I will make or buy shunts to bypass the signal to "Fool" the ECM from knowing they are disconnected.
Thanks

I like my shocks! They’re actually KellTrac - Ultra Spec Inverted double adjustable Vikings. The adjuster knobs are up top and much easier to access than a standard Viking shock which has the knobs at the bottom. They also provide more clearance between the shocks and half shaft boots.

If you decide to buy shunts to bypass the signal to fool the PCM, just FYI, I bought Shock Delete Engineering sensors for mine and they only worked some of the time. Other times the car would into Suspension Fault mode - Speed restricted to 80 MPH.

Now that I’m running the DIY version, I haven’t had one issue at all.

Did you make your own resistor cap to plug the open connector? I cannot believe someone doesn't sell a perfective cap

Yes, I followed the instructions provided in the link above. The link references a Camaro, but I used all of the exact same parts that the guy recommended in the link. I cut the pig tails off of my rear shocks, extended the wiring and soldered/heat shrinked them to the resistors.

Ok, easy enough. Thanks for the help.
