Default Who has -Complete Front Monospring System

I need to do my front suspension. I am thinking about this set up. I know I need updated bushing... this kit doesn't use front coil springs and it has tubular A-arms so thinking the weight should be down 100lbs or so.

My car is a car show cruiser and 1/8th and 1/4 mile 5-6 times a year.

I know a few people sell this setup VB&P Ecklers Corvette Central... usually about 1100? However I would want upper and lower A-arms

Would like to get them power coated red also... to match my rear set up.

Thoughts opinions?

Front only kit with everything and you can get it powder coated red for another 100 dollars

I've had the complete front system on my car for a few years now,

I liked the idea of being able to adjust the front height and ride

I have not tracked my car nor had it on the drag strip, I prefer the street

I do have the DragVette 6-link on the rear also

I have no regrets after installing the setup,

Neal

I've been running them on the front and rear for over 15 years with no issues. My car is used for multiple purposes (drag, road course, cruiser, even a few short vacations), and they have served me well over the years.
