VBP Adjustable Frontspring

This week i ordered the following item from VBP:

http://www.vbandp.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=8
See page 6 ID 88300
Xtreme C4 Adj. Front Spring

Has anybody installed this part who can tell my something about it!
After the installation, is it easy to adjust the ride height or do I have jacking the car first?

Who has experience with this item?

Thanks forward from Switzerland

Hi! I am in California, USA! Talk about opposite sides of the world!

I don't know anything about this part, specifically, but I do know that their parts are of very good quality.

I have the same spring on my car. You do have to unload the spring to adjust it. I have mine lowered all the way down. It works great for me in auto X and daily driving.

How is the spring rate adjusted? Is it similar to a progressive steel leaf spring setup?

I considered it... but the 1200 lbs rate (not adjustable) stopped me.
Were you not at our annual run yesterday???

The rate is not adjustable but you can adjust how high or low you want the car to sit.

OK, my little project is done, the adjustable extreme frontspring from Vette Brakes and Products is installed.........and.........what can I say...............

It feels great, the handling of the car from now to before with this frontspring, together with the poly bushings, is like day and night, it is fantastic
