Default Transverse front monospring system?

What's everyones thoughts on a transverse front monospring system? I'm looking to do a full suspension upgrade on my 68 convertible. Currently everything looks factory stock (stock front coil springs and stock 9 leaf rear monoleaf). Corvette America offers this 63-82 performance plus suspension system which includes "transverse front monospring system", dual-mount rear monospring kit, 1.125" Addco antisway bar kit, heavy duty upper and lower a-arms, bilstein sport gas shocks, font end rebuild kit, stainless trailing arm shim kit, adjustable smart struts assembly, polyurethane tailing arm busings, crossmember reinforcement kit and polyurethane differential bushing kit. All for a pricing 2k. I know Corvette America is expensive and I'd probably shop around or piece together a package myself for cheaper but what's your take on the transverse front monospring vs. say F-41 option coil springs. I read in some catalog something about a konig... super suspension but seem to have misplaced the info. I'd like to hear what you have to say. Thanks

i have ecklers front monospring kit and it works quite well, also you get rid of a lot of unsprung weight in the front...you could have in the rear a bg monospring with 8'' bolts and then to finish the job get QA1 shocks...you'll think you're driving quite another car..
