Hi Tony
When I rebuilt the rear suspension in my 78 I used VBP poly bushings,
smart struts, a .75 sway bar, a 360 lb glass spring, and
the good Delco shocks all around.
VBP products are top quality, I am very happy with the improved
handeling and will upgrade the front with the transverse spring
and offset control arms when I can.
Good luck with your project! Have fun with it!
Steve

I have the set-up for the transverse spring in front along with their spreader bar. Would be interested in selling. The price would reflect the finished condition that I sent it in. It is used now and would need to be cleaned, painted and new ball joints. Let me know if you are interested. John

My first suspension upgrade was the VB&P touring kit along with new poly bushings all around. It was very niice kit and I was very pleased how much it improved the cars handling. Since then I have installed VB&P performance kit, with mono composite springs front and rear, tubular a-arms, offset trailing arms, rack and pinion steering and 20" wheels I'm still waiting for the carbon fibre 1/2 shafts to arrive, after I've installed them I can hopefully say that my handles! |cheers|
