Default How would a 806# vbp front spring fare with a rear zo6 spring for track purposes?
What sort of effect would it have on handling?

Have any experiences or ideas?
TIA

Isn't one of VB&Ps packages just that? A VBP Sport front spring, new Bilsteins, and the rest is up to you?

I run a 900# vbp spring up front with a Z06 spring in the rear on my 2004 vert. My car has a Vortec SC that adds weight to front whereby I feel the bigger spring is warranted.. I feel the car handles much better now.

it's gonna PUSH on track, not necessarily a bad think, but I like a car that is a bit loose.
