Default Who is using the VBP adjustable F/Spring?

Hi,

Just curious to know the rating of the spring you are using. With these springs being flat (similar to a C5) the rates are higher than the standard arched spring. I got a great deal on this spring-but have not installed it yet.

This is not a thread to debate coil versus composite!!

Thanks!
Steve

I am using 1025#. Went a little stiffer to cure some oversteer. Worked well

I am using 1050# Front & 850# Rear with Bilstein shocks. Car handles great and isn't too harsh on the street.

Standard Off-the-shelf Bilstein sports or extreme?

My spring is close at 1070. So it should work. I also have revalved FX3Bilsteins, Z51 bars, Polly bushings, and welded 4 point roll bar.

Thanks again!!
