Not all are the same. Do a search for ride height problems after using 1 of these composite springs.

Most people are happiest with VB&P springs for ride height. You will need to install long bolts to get the correct ride height.

This is my ride height using the complete VB&P street & Slalom Kit (78)

I have had VB&P fibreglass rear spring previously , I think their quality is poor.

I now run a Hypercoil rear spring the workmanship on that spring is impressive far better that VB&P
