Default #550 front springs NEW!

Bought these for my 63. They are new and unused. $75 shipped. Decided to go with the VBP Front transverse spring instead.

What will they fit? 63 only or other years? BB/SB? What vendor did they come from/vendor part #. I'm interested if they will work for my application.

Default 550# Coil Springs

Just to help him out while he is on vaca , if they are my springs, from VBP, they are good for small or big block cars. They are a little stiffer than the stock coils and they can also lower the front end up to 1" from the stock ride height. They can handle some added horsepower and give more of a performance feel than the stock ones.

We offer these in our Street and Slalom Suspension Package with our 360# rear spring. We recommend this package for light autocrossing or racing or just that Corvette performance feel. We then offer extremes for an all out racing package.

Default Great Product from VB&P!

I have these same springs on my '68 and love them. They lower the ride height just right and really improve the handling. Everything I've purchased from VB&P has been excellent.

The stock ones have tighter coils on the top but these don't have a difference top and bottom. They are shorter uncompressed and have fewer, larger diameter coils than the stock ones. They should be a noticable improvement over stock. Glad they came through alright.
