Default Vbp Performance Plus Kit

Looking to buy a VBP performance Plus kit 42000 for my 69 t-top
I dont know what rear spring I need, It will have a Big block 496 blown or turbo charged, dont know yet, and is for the street, and sometimes a few time runs on the track.
I waited for a long time for a sale but must have missed it.

360 is good, but may not be enough on the BB. Call VB&P and ask their TS. VB&P gives a CF discount on non-sale items.

It's a dual mount spring in that package. It's adjustable.

here is my dual mount installed. I have a few other things back there also but you can get the picture. I like the ability to set it up firm for autoX or drag racing but soften it up for cruising. It works very well. I also have the front transverse mount spring from VB
