Strange DA vs Viking DA for Wheelstand Bounce Control
Hey Guys,
Bracket racing now with nose heavy 72 GTO - high 9 second car. These are the two in my budget - please let me know your opinions. Thanks, Craig |

Spend the money for a pair of Santhuff shocks . Yes they are $1400 but they will save your headers and oil pan and all the other wear and tear on the suspension.
They WILL control the bounce , Strange and Viking are not going to give you what you are looking for.

Out of the box BNCs will not be perfect. I sent mine to Competitive Suspension to be revalved.

Well I am not sure that the AFCO shocks come as non coil-overs as I am using the stock control arms and Landrum #180 5X18 springs.
Thanks |

Re: Strange DA vs Viking DA for Wheelstand Bounce Control
They do. The stock A arms, need a small modification for the shock body diameter and mounting. Go to www.Chevelle.com and search Afco BNC. You should find info and photos regarding the required A arm modification.
I had planned to install the BNC shocks in my nose heavy Chevelle which had 59% of its 3880 lbs. over the front tires, but I sold it months after this video Last edited by 1320racer; 01-17-2024 at 02:52 PM. |
