Composite Spring Length?
Can someone give me the length of their VBP rear composite spring? I have a dual mount 420lb one that I will be installing as soon as I get the mounting hardware from a member here on the Forum. I just want to know if the one I have has been shortened already since I bought it new/used off of Ebay. I will need to have it shortened if not to run my C6 wheels on my 78.

Sorry, thought I could help when I read the title... But mine is just a stock ride mono spring, not an aftermarket vbp... There aren't specs online anywhere for all the different rates and widths?

You can try calling VBP tech support. If I can get to it, I'll check mine tonight. I have VBP dual mount spring with 17x9.5" aftermarket C6 Z06 wheels using 2.5" wheel adapters and offset trailing arms.

Bummer!!
The spring that I bought some time ago is for the front transverse system
I got the dual mount mounting setup from member Cavu2u and installed it yesterday just to find out my spring was too short
I hope I can find the correct spring because I don't want to put the old crap back on.
