Default Vette Brakes and products springs?

I am setting up a C5 Z06 for SSM Solo II autox and I was looking at the Vette brakes and products springs. Has Anyone used them? The make a Sport and an Extreme spring I would need one that would work best for Autox.
Any users out there?
Thanks

I've used VB&P springs for years. 966 front. 750 rear for autocross. That's a pretty good start in spring rate. A few months ago I switched to LG G2 coil overs. Can't say for sure if my car handles better, but I do know you save a total weight of 12lbs. I'm pretty sure SSM you can run coil overs. I would go that route.

They make great springs. If you don't need new shocks , or dont want coilovers, they are my top choice.

Default VP&P springs available

I put a pair of VB&P Extreme springs on my C5 coupe. The springs are rated 966 lbs front / 750 lbs rear. They worked well for me while autocrossing.

I no longer will be doing any serious auto crossing and am removing these springs.

The springs are $499 each, new. I also have near-new VB&P polyurethane bushings with washers, 7" and 8" bolts, and Nylock nuts.
I will sell the whole package for $450, shipped anywhere in the lower 48 states.
