Sold as a pair of shocks.Product DescriptionSMOOTH SHOCK: Smooth body double adjustable shocks are a good choice when you donot want or need the ability to alter your stance. They are available for the front and/or rearof many applications. These shocks offer bolt-in performance, and come complete with all mounting hardware.
TUNING AND ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS Vehicles used on the street, drag cars, and road racers will all have different needs in terms of shock valving. However, it does not stop there. Driver style / capability, road / track conditions, vehicle type (car vs. pickup, etc.), vehicle weight, horsepower, tires, etc. all create different needs in terms of shock valving. That is the beauty of a double adjustable shock.
Your Viking shocks have a total of 19 positions (18 clicks plus a zero position) of adjustment per knob, for a total of 361 different valvings. Compression and rebound are independently controlled on the Viking shocks. The “C†knob adjusts compression, while the “R†knob adjusts rebound. Every Viking shock is tested on a dynamometer prior to shipment to ensure that it is functioning properly. Manually moving a shock is not an accurate testing method for ensuring that shocks are functioning properly. Position zero is the softest setting and is found by turning the knob counterclockwise until the positive stop is located. Position 18 is the stiffest setting.
Only very light force is needed to adjust the knobs; do not ever force the knob past its intended stop as doing so will damage the shock.
Recommended baseline points for adjusting your Viking shocks are as follows:
Ride Quality/Street: Front: 1 - 4 compression; 4 - 8 rebound Rear: 0 - 3 compression; 2 - 5 rebound In general, for good handling and excellent ride quality, the rebound should be set roughly 2 to 6 clicks higher than the compression. For example, a good starting point for the street is 2 clicks on compression and 6 clicks on rebound on the front and 1 click on compression and 3 clicks on rebound on the rear.
Handling: Front: 8 - 10 compression; 10 - 14 rebound Rear: 6 - 8 compression; 8 - 12 rebound Autocross: Front: 10 - 14 compression; 14 - 18 rebound Rear: 6 - 10 compression; 10 - 14 rebound The handling and autocross settings will vary depending on spring rate. If extra firm springs are utilized, the compression setting might be set softer and the rebound setting firmer.
Drag Racing: Front: 12 - 18 compression; 0 - 4 rebound (<600 HP) Rear: 0 - 4 compression; 4 - 10 rebound Drag Racing: Front: 12 - 18 compression; 0 - 6 rebound (600-900 HP) Rear: 2 - 6 compression; 6 - 12 rebound Drag Racing: Front: 12 - 18 compression; 2 - 8 rebound (>900 HP) Rear: 2 - 6 compression; 12 - 18 rebound
