VBP has 3 different spring 300# 330# 360#. The 300 is for all 80-82 Vettes the 330 will give better performance and the 360 is for BB's. If you go for a Mono-Spring you have to get shocks that are made for FiberGlass springs. Bilstien Sports or KYB GR-2 made for VBP

obviously the fiberglass is lighter than the steel. I replaced mined dtock springs with a TRW 330# which was recommended for small blocks.I didn`t care for the ride. A little spongey form me I upgraded to the 360# spring . The longer bolts came wityh it so i had no hieght issues. And believe it or not I installed Koni adjustable gas shocks all around. The ride is stiffer and handles nice, i wanted a hot rod so i wanted to feel the road.
