QA1 or Viking Coilover set-up w/ CPP arms

[ratpatrol71z28]

The A-Arms are BMR (I work there) - I post here as myself while my Boss gets the Sponsorship deal sorted out

When I sell Vikings, I sell a Version with a Bearing at the bottom to eliminate any chance of Shock Bind. So that would be a different Part #. Also it depends on how much you want to lower a car as you could need a shorter shock.

Yes, I can beat that eBay price that you initially linked

Right now I love the stance and would want to retain as close to it as possible. The 15x7 Rally wheel has 225/60 that is about two fingers thick away from the fender lip which is about 1 1/2 inch. Would you be able to set me up with the correct coil-over from Viking, I may also be interested in the "bearing" version depending on cost. Thanks

This where my Car is sitting with a Shorter Shock & 17" Wheels.



The Bearings add about $20 to a Pair of shocks

Thanks for all the feedback so far guys!
So I am basically set on a set of Vikings in the future , now I am trying to figure out the right control arms to compliment the coilovers. Looks like either go the budget friendly route or save up for a set some being nearly double the cost, Hmmm... realistically I am not going to be truly "racing" the car anytime soon but it definitely will see some corners and I want the car to handle tight.

There's usually a reason for cost differences when it comes to suspension components

When choosing a company to purchase components from it is wise to make a few phone calls and ask questions like.....are your components made in the US from US material?...what is your warranty?...Do you test your product?...Do you manufacture your components through the entire process?

I can only speak for UMI in that we don't just build components, we Race them on our test cars. The entire manufacturing process is in-house here, everything from raw US steel to the engineers that design it to powder coat.

You'll narrow down your choices rather fast after making a few phone calls!

If you need any info or pricing feel free to call me here at the shop .

The Viking is a great affordable way to go coilover, with that said.... we ONLY offer it with a spherical bearing on the lower t-bar mount. Polly WILL fail and thats not good. In all honesty, all of the bolt in coilover kits are not the best idea. 7 years ago we designed the first kit that converts a 2nd gen to coilovers. It works so well several companies have even copied it! lol We have sold hundreds ov Viking shocks and had very, very few warantee issues, and the few there were, got taken care of no issues.

What's the part number for the bearing setup? I have Detroit Speed upper and lowers waiting to be installed and I debating on coilovers or just Viking dual adjustable shocks and lowing coils.
