I can tell you this, the VB springs are the wrong height. They are listed
as one inch lowered, however, the springs are one inch shorter compressed,
this yields a 1.5 or 2" lowered ride height. This will place the car
lightly resting on its bumpstops. This is, of course, not a very good place
to be. I solved the problem by machining some spacers out of aluminum, but
that is neither convenient or cheap.
