Does VBP duel mounted rear spring make a difference??
I got my new VBP catalog yesterday and was reading up on the dual mounted rear spring. Since I am going with 10" rear rims I am loosing my rear sway bar. According to VBP the dual mounted spring in affect replaces the sway bar. Is it worth the money for handling? I have also heard that BB's handle better without a sway bar. Is this true also.
Thanks

Put mine in recently. Just a short test drive so far but no results. I like the idea of having different ratio spring rates. I can drive with a decent rate and when going to the track or autoX just change the rate. It will take about 10 minutes to change the rate.

I've had mine on for 3 years now and what a difference in ride and handling even for stright line racing.
I have the performance package with off-set trailing arms from VP&B plus their braking package.

Do it, you'll be glad you did. You may have to replace your front sway bar to match the rear dual-mount, but talk to VBP--They will guide you without bullpuckey.
Yes, it's worth it.
