Default Lowering 95 Suspension

Has anyone purchased the front spring from VBP that has a threaded bolt to raise or lower front end? I heard it rides rough.
Is this true?
Anyone here try one?
Saw it at Bloomington and it looked great. Now I'm questioning ride quality. This car is not raced. I simply want to lower front end.
Thanks
DG

Default spring

I have one on my 89. I also have a stiff Hyperco on the rear and the ride is pretty rigid but I can't say how much is attributed to which spring. I suspect the front spring is pretty stiff on its own though. The good part is it makes the front and back adjustible so you can set the height where you want it on all four wheels. I understand there are two versions of the spring. One is for the street and one for racing which is stiffer. I have the street version.

The person who claims this spring is stiff, was speaking of the softer of the 2 versions.
Thanks
