Yes, talk to VBP about the right mono-leaf for your ride. And, if you want a great set of dampers without the hassle of tuning them, get yourself the set of Bilsteins which best suit your particular needs.

Rear, right? I have the 360" vbp spring (69BB). It's a little rough sometimes--low speed on a concrete road, etc. It does work great on autocros, etc. I would go with the next lower rating--330'?-- if I was to do it again.

glenkov48, I have a 69 vert with a SB running VBP # 330 and Bilstien sport shocks. The ride to me was springy and the car bottoms out on big dips. Some members experianced the samething. So I contacted VBP and they're going to send me the # 360. Now I'm reading that you have the # 360 and want to or wished you got the # 330. You have the BB with the 9 leaf springs I guess. How is the mono compaired to the stock springs? What was the differents in the bumps between the two?
