Fbody Camaro gets drag shocks (rear suspension)

[@57torg]

Good work and good advice on keeping the old parts and using proper PPE. That cold start sounds awesome too. Looking forward to seeing your front suspension upgrade and of coarse the next test & tune event.

[@smokingasphalt8050]

Thanks Dad for checking out the vid. Yeah some of these parts could be a challenge to find in the future so I figured to throw that advice out there.

[@windycitygtp]

Crazy I found this vid I was just looking at these shocks for my z28

[@smokingasphalt8050]

Awesome! These are definitely on the affordable side.

Great video and glad the freeze is over.

[@smokingasphalt8050]

Definitely Kevin, thanks man!

Your camaro is nice and clean underneath 🇺🇲👍

Thank you bro🇺🇸

[@danysk8ter100]

Love the car ! Quick question the cosmis wheels are 5x120?

[@smokingasphalt8050]

Thanks man and yes they are 5x120.

[@orlanmedina3693]

Mine is lowered in the rear. But makes a noise like if I had bad shocks. But when I take them apart they're in good condition. I was thinking since they're stock and are Soo compressed that maybe they don't get to do their job? And should get a shorter one?

[@alexbautista1858]

2 years later how do you like the rear shocks?

[@smokingasphalt8050]

No complaints, actually daily driving the car this week lol. I do plan to upgrade to double adjustable coil overs on all 4 corners in the future though.

[@mscheets1]

Good video, but I don't think you'll like those shocks on the street. Had them on my car and swapped for viking non coilovers in the rear. The comps felt terrible in comparison.

[@smokingasphalt8050]

Thanks man, how were the Comp Engineering shocks on the street? These are definitely made for the drag strip.

[@mscheets1]

@@smokingasphalt8050 they didn't seem to have any decent ride in my opinion. Everything seemed too loose which is a characteristic of a drag shock, but only having the 3 settings kind of made it too annoying for me. Obviously with the vikings being a 19 way adjustable, Im able to have a good balance of a better ride and set them to be more aggressive with the turn of a knob. I also wasn't a fan of the way the comps are adjusted either when now I can adjust both rear shocks in less than a minute if a want. If you're racing more than cruising then maybe you'll like the comps more than I did

[@smokingasphalt8050]

@@mscheets1 I gotcha, thanks for the input! I had Koni Yellows for the street for years. I’m hoping these perform well on the track. I’ve heard a lot of good things about them. Will definitely give a review whenever I test them out.

[@danysk8ter100]

how did those shocks perform? thinking on getting them for my ws6

[@smokingasphalt8050]

So far so good. Cut a 1.6 60' spinning. Currently working on tuning the suspension setup.

Thanks bro, they are Welds RTS 15x10s in the rear in the thumbnail.

I haven't had the chance to try them out at the track yet. The ride is fine on the street paired with the Strange single adj coil overs up front.

Not for the rear drag pack.
