Default VB&P brake bias spring

Was wondering if anyone was using this spring or had any info/feedback on this spring. Is it the same bias as DRM's ? TIA.

I here the DRM spring works great, that's what I hear from the autocross circles anyway. I compete stock class, so I can't use it. The DRM spring is only $13, is VB&P making a different promise or charging that much less?

If you have base brakes on your pre 95 and switch to a zr1/gs or c5 setup, this spring is a Must. When i switched my 93 base setup for gs brakes my front end had serious nosedive and would smash the front skirt and drag it on the ground.. even from speeds well above 160 mph This was moreso because the car is lowered, but after the spring everything was flat as ever.

I ordered mine from vette brakes, and the package had drm on it. It looks like they are a dealer for the drm spring. As far as performance, I'm driving to an auto-x tomorrow to test it(along with my c5 brakes)
