Looking for new shocks for my -64 dart. What is under the car now is stock shocks... I kinda want to try the vikings, but who is a dealer? Also considering strange. Sadly i'm on a tight budget, is there anything else in the same pricerange?
Car has a r3 421 with w9 rp. So far best is a 9.98/137. Also selfmade fourlink with leafs. (Budget). Coilovers are in future so im looking for coilovershocks, but yet without springs...
Thanks for the help...

A few guys on here are happy with there Vikings. I prefer Afco shocks my self, saved to buy rears then did the same for fronts. Good luck.

I have Vikings and VERY happy w/ them. Can't beat em for the money. Yes there are better shocks out there I'm sure, but you'll pay dearly for them.
Don't need a dealer, just call Viking directly. Good people to deal with.

I bought Vikings for the front and back of mine. I had Calvert 90/10s and Calvert single adjustables in the back. My 60ft has improved .02 and now is extremely consistent.... Wish I could say the same for the driver..... I'm still playing with the settings.
