Thanks, I see that was early summer, so any more reports?
That was 2 days ago.
I'll be getting a set soon for my cuda. Everything I've read online about them from other forums seems to be pretty good.

Same as a QA1, assembled 6 blocks apart. Not a race shock, but a good street shock.
Definitely NOT the same...They used to work for QA1, shocks resemble a QA1, but I know personally people who have used QA1 and they are junk, these not so much...and when I say QA1 junk, I mean right out of the box junk. I would give these guys a little more credit since they left QA1 to build a better shock, not the exact same one.
A buddy runs them on his mustang, so far they work awesome. I also run a set, but I am not running their standard D/A...It uses a design that allows for a lot more tunability with valving (similar to Santhuff in style, but obviously not the same). It wasn't much extra per shock, so I opted for it...I only have one outing on them so far and a bunch of street miles, and can't complain.
There are LOTS of people cutting 1.1x and 1.2x 60's on them, even with radials, so they must work half decent
Just my

I call BS. one mans junk is another mans treasure. as soon as I posted I bought shocks, I got offers to buy my old one's. Now, lets say I pay twice as much for a shock and then it needs to be "serviced". How much will I have invested in a pair of shocks. If I listened to everyone on why there stuff was worth 2 times or more, I would never have a running car. My car can be picked to death on this issue, from my $15 electric fans, Chinese crank, ebay AN fittings, knock off intake, cheap radiator, edelbrock carbs, my home made front steering and k frame, it never ends. My car is junk and I like it that way
thank god I never fell for the "you get what you pay for" from Barry Grant or crappy MSD distributers

That's why Baskin Robbins has so many favors of ice cream.
Purchased Afco da first then had them custom serviced and wow what a difference. But I like chocolate and you might not.

is it possible that they suck from the get go? I know nothing about shocks other than I just spent the most money I ever have on the Vikings and I am pleased with them. It would take someone like you to try them and give their feedback on the product

Viking shocks are fully rebuildable, according to their website.
