VBP Performance Plus System
I am trying to build a dual purpose street/road track car over the winter and am looking at different suspension options. What I like about this setup is its an integrated system that doesn't require going to several different vendors and hope all the pieces play well together. I have never driven a car with a front mono spring and want to make sure I'm not short changing handling in the name of ease of purchase. Advise Please.

I have the front mono spring and rear dual mount spring on mine. I like the adjustability and the ride height adjustment. I ttakes me about 15 minutes to change spring rates both front and rear. yes I would recomend this system. I also have the VB upper and lower control arms that allow for more castor for better steering response.

Same as the above folks. I've got the full setup and like it. Note: your car will definitely have a "track feel" to the ride after you do this, meaning a firm ride with very little roll and no wallow on corners. It won't be the cushy ride of luxury anymore - however, you'll be amazed how hard you can take a corner and still feel like you're on rails.

Another one with the performance plus kit.
My only complaint is the shock choice. I think with the sway bars that they give you, the shocks are too stiff. My next suspension upgrade will be some double adjustable shocks. Other than that, I love it
