I would probably buy 2 or 4 Bilstein shocks if they were to go on sale. Probably would not buy them soon otherwise.

I'd say rear steel spring as I might be replacing mine soon... we'll see.

BTW.. Thanks Tony, for the help last week on the phone and the A-arm shafts. Got 'em yesterday.... look great!

And it always will leak even when it's new. Go with STEEROIDS.

VBP is awesome!!! I have their upper & lower control arms, front mono spring, rear dual-mount spring, smart struts, off-set trailing arm, 4 Carrera shocks. I did buy a control valve and steering cylinder from them and eventually ( 6 months) they leak. I'm just driving now without power steering until I buy a STEEROIDS set-up.


The only gripe I "had" with VBP is before I had ordered my Carrera shocks from them I asked them what part # the shocks where and they would only give me VBP part # not Carrera's part #. So I had to buy one shock from them ($99.95) to get the part # off the box to order the SAME EXACT shock from Jeg's for $44.95. And then got charged a 20% restocking fee for returning that shock.

I vote for Bilsteins since I need four more. Just installed the four I had on the 71 since it came with a composite spring and had Sensitracs on the front and no-name shocks on the rear. Already have converted all 8 calipers to O-Rings and already have adjustable struts on the 71 and a brand new pair still awaiting to go on the 78.

lol, i think that is that reason they have a restocking fee. At any rate, I think the complete front monospring setup would be nice. They normally are quite pricey but seem to pretty trick.

I will probably be purchasing the performance plus system and offset trailing arms this winter. Would be a bonus for them to be on sale
