Default VBandP adjustable front spring

Would like to hear from users of this spring. How is it adjustable/how does it work? I'm guessing it's a stiffer spring but how much stiffer?
I'm lowering my car and want to know if this spring is worth it as opposed to just cutting off the stock pads.

I have one on my 89. I tried using the kit on my stock spring but wasn't happy with the result. The Vette Products spring is quite a bit stiffer that stock but I guess that is relative as I have a stiff spring on the rear also. It is fairly staight as opposed to the stock spring and has adjusters at either end that screw thru the spring with lock nuts. To adjust you jack up the car (important) to take the stress off and use a large allen wrench to turn the adjusters to where you want it set. One advantage is you can set the height on all 4 wheels exactly where you want it and then get it aligned. Is it worth it- can't answer that question. Does it work-yes.
