Eckler's Suspension Package
The suspension on my ‘64 convertible is in need of work. As I was looking around for a "restoration kits" I came across the Max Performance Suspension Package from Eckler's.

Was wondering if anyone has any information on this product or know of anyone who has installed one

That kit is produced by Vette Brakes and Products. I thought they were a site sponser but I do not see a link on the side. This is their web site http://www.vbandp.com/. I am pretty sure there are a few guys on the forum using that setup. Hang on and they will check in.

OK, I'll check in. I have several of those pieces on my '66 coupe. I put on the complete front suspension -- the monoleaf composite front spring and the upper and lower A arms. I like it because the ride height is adjustable and there is some adjustment to the spring stiffness. I don't know how much because I set it up at almost full-stiff and left it there. In the rear I have only the crossmember reinforcement kit and the poly diff bushings, so I can't comment on their rear monoleaf spring configuration.

Without a doubt, the closest you will ever come to have real sports car handling on your 63 to 67 Corvette. Not only has the height adjustment become a 15 minute thing, but a different ride firmness can be selected with a total of four ( 4 ) different settings. Add a set of performance wheels and tires to this package, and you will see what driving a late model Corvette feels like.
VERY HIGHLY recommended. If you are seriously looking into a purchase, you can log onto the " other Forum " and get an additional 10% off the Ecklers " advertised retail pricing, direct from " VBP" the manufacturer.

I am new to this forum thing (first time I ever did a post), can you tell me who the "Other Forum" is?
Also, I am blown away by the number of participants in this forum and the depth of their knowledge and experience. Any suggestions on how I might get responses from others using this product? I am very serious about purchasing it, but would like to hear their opinions rather then just relying on the manufacturers sales pitch.
