Default front suspension

Anybody install the front composite monospring conversion system that Corvette Central sells? Does it come close to doing the things the advertisement says? Like improving ride and handling? Thanks in advance for any feedback. Have a happy and safe holiday to everyone.

I'm not sure about the kit Corvette Central sells, probably the same as mine made by Vette Brake Products. I installed the VBP full kit (front and rear) and it was a huge difference.

My car is still in pieces so can't vouch for handling, etc, but another endorsement for VBP Performance Plus System... the parts look great out of the box, customer service has been very helpful.

I have the same kit as MIKE80 in the 6t8. Been there 15+ years, handles like - well I can pass C6s on the track, as far as ride improvement goes well it doesn't ride as nice as the 9car with just minor suspension upgrades. I put in a comp rear spring last summer and a rear sway bar and that really helped the ride and handling [9car]. I like the coils up front but was thinking of increasing the front sway bar size to stop the front from wanting to wash out. T

I've got the VBP on my C2, and Van Steel coil overs on my C3. I don't track, just street drive. I like the VS better. Both are vast improvements over stock.
