2nd gen camaro shocks

[SPG]

Hello, hopefully this is my last thread of a bit, but I just have a quick question about shocks. A lot of topics on this I find are very old, I know shocks haven't really changed all that much but vikings are now on the market so I just want opinions from people.



Right now I'm looking at getting viking performance warrior double adjustable shocks. But I'm also looking at getting this torque arm for my car . This comes with VariShock, anyone have problems with one over the other? I know a lot of people are using vikings now. I just want all 4 corners to be the same. I'm leaning more towards Vikings because it's what the crowd uses, but Varishock would just be more out of convenience when ordering the toque arm, I've seen some people complain about them eventually leaking, especially if they sit for a long time.

What are you going to be using the Camaro for?

Based upon the other thread you made, you need to figure out the direction you're going (leaf spring or link). I think you're leaning towards Viking shocks. Viking obviously makes shocks for stock leaf springs and supplies to almost all link suspension manufacturers for these cars.

As stated in the first post, going with the torque arm. Both companies make shocks for all applications, just trying to figure out if one is better than the other. or if the differences are negligible.

Sorry for the confusion. Your post said you’re “looking at getting a torque arm”.

Now that I recall your other post, you mentioned the Alston setup. They make a front coilover setup with the Varishock for your setup.

With the brakes that you had mentioned, this setup will start pushing near $10k all said and done. Be prepared.

I am very aware my project will be expensive lol.
I want to go with global west though as it will modify my subframe and allow for more travel with the coilovers.

Ok,

These posts like this are getting crazy. One post is about IRS and then the next is torque arm. Last thread you mentioned you're building a street car and now this one says autocross. Anyone can list off a crazy parts list. If you have the money, go for it but this out of reach for most, even DIY, people.

Judging by your changes of position, I really think you need to keep it simple and stick with leaf rear and front coil springs. Companies like BMR, ridetech or Detroit Speed sell link and leaf spring suspension in their catalogs. Since you're on this website, I assume you're looking for a pro-touring/lowered stance. Lowering your car on the basic coil/leaf setup is the easiest and most cost effective route if you want a lowered stance. The stock style suspension can utilize and aftermarket Viking shock. There are cars that perform extremely well at autocross and equally as well on the street with the basic leaf spring setup. PTFB, UMI and DSE have made this happen.
