Default VB&P Performance Plus Suspension

I am finally getting around to posting my thoughts of VB&P's Performance Plus suspension. Here's the link if anyone doesn't know what it is - http://www.vbandp.com/detail.aspx?ID=474.

The kit went in my 77 L-82, and I have to say that the difference is outstanding. I had my doubts before the install about whether or not the kit would fulfill my desires, but the thing handles fantastically. The ride is a little harsh, but I have it set on the second from the stiffest setting, afterall it is a Corvette not a Caddy.

The quality of the parts was top notch and so was the technical assistance. Thumbs up for Vette Brakes and Products. I had a great experience with them and I will do business with them again. Next job, brakes, to reign in the beast.

Now for complaints, nothing about VB&P, but about chevy engineering. Who is the genius that designed the trailing arm bolt placement. Replacing the bushings on those suckers was horrible, and I hope I never have to do it again.

Sorry no Pics but when I get my lift installed in my garage in a few months I will post pics of everything then.

Again a big thankyou to VB&P for a great product and a great service experience...!!!...

That's the kit I'd get, if I were to get a full blown kit. I'm a bit jealous now, though. I want one!
