1979 suspension upgrades....
Van Steel Advanced Street and Slalom or VBandP Hi Perf kit # 42003. I need to lower the car 2" and I would like to do it without dissassembling, cutting coils, assembling, driving to set the suspension....repeat if necessary. Van Steel has the semi coil overs in the front vs VBandP with its transverse monospring, essentially the same set up front and rear with the adjusting bolt. Your comments would be a big help, thanks. Alan.

You have to "break some eggs---to make an omelet"...and you have to remove "stuff" to achieve what you want to do....AND I would be CAUTIOUS when "messing around" your coil springs.....especially if you do not have the correct tools...or have done it before...because they can really hurt/kill you if not removed with EXTREME CARE.

yes I know I will have to disassemble my suspension components to get the new stuff in. I was looking to see if any one has used these kits on their car to get feed back as I dont want to go through the hassle of disassembling, cutting coils and reassembling multiple times. It seems these kits are designed to allow body height adjustments easily or so they say.

after all the great "feedback"......
I went with VBandP's Street and Slalom kit substituting the front springs and shocks for their semi coil overs. They answered my questions and gave me a sweet deal too. Its nice doing business with a company like that.
