It is alittle much.
I know... crazy prices but he doesn't charge anyone else less comparatively for resto work / mods.. etc.... so I'm not being ripped off based on what everyone else is paying him.
I'm sure I could have easily found someone who would do it alot cheaper but I've had bad experiences so I'm just gonna take a chance and hope I'll be happy with everything he does.

Thanks for all the help guys!
I am sure that I am just like the rest of you out there- wanting to remortgage my house for that c5 suspension and tube frame- but at some point reality has to set in. I love driving my car- but sometimes it feels like being in a washing machine when I hit bumps. I put in a new composite monoleaf in the back (the VBP adjustable one) with the bilsteins Much better ride- but that could also be because both shocks were toast- one of them the fluid was leaking out. (FYI its a 68 convertible)

I have not got the car driving ...very soon and my biggest concern is it will make my ride harsher, the tech at VB says it won't.
I never would have bought all that stuff just for my cruising around, I simply would rather spend the $$$ in other places.
You know the thing is if you are not going racing ( I'm not ) then why spend money on any suspension changes over the good old stock set up.
You can get shocks to help the ride and could do different stock springs but the simple fact is these are sports cars and will not have a caddy like ride heck my wifes civvic rode better...
