okay.  I know I've griped about this before...but...it's still not resolved, and I cannot drive the car without getting annoyed out of my mind at this.  so.  I had the street and slalom suspension from VBandP installed.  Now the ride is incredibly rough.  I feel every little depression in the road, and the rear end just generally bangs aroiund a lot driving in my neighborhood.  I know NOTHING about suspension, but I'm willing to crawl under there with a wrench, and play with whatever can be adjusted to see if I can find something that improves this INCREDIBLY agravating problem.  Anyone have suggestions on what it could be, or better yet, a guide to suspension adjusting for dummies?

i think you need to look at the hole suspension : what did you change from VBandP ? In combination with existing or new anti-rollbars ?        Stiffer springs need other shockabsorbers ...                                          What tyres /wheels are you using ?

Wow, so many possibilities.   First try to get under the car and have someone bounce it up and down and sideways.  You will need to put the car on a drive on lift or a set of ramps.  You want the weight on the wheels.   If you can duplicate the noise, it's easy to find when under there.

It appears that the "Street/Slalom" suspension is simply too stout for your preference. Those types of set-ups are usually WAY stiffer than stock.
Maybe you need to soften it up, by going to softer springs, and maybe shocks too, front & rear.
Have you contacted VB&P for their input?

Could it be that the VBP 360# spring is just too stiff for you?  Maybe a softer spring (the VBP touring spring is 330#) would be a better pick for you.  I installed the VBP street and slalom kit to my '77 and it was definitely a stiffer ride than stock.

Joel, I turned away while typing my response and you beat me to it!!! Haha.

probably just spring stiffness...I've never knowingly felt the difference between different springs.  all I know is, after installing that package, the rear end likes to bang whenever I hit any kind of bump.  I'll look into it. Stingray406SB2006-09-22 02:20:27

Mike, when you say "bang", are you saying it makes a loud noise, like maybe something loose, or are you saying it is just really harsh, as in jolting? We may be talkin bout two different things here.

woo, C3VR's back!  I mean it's really harsh, and jolting.  No comfort in the ride at all.

Yup...sounds like you just have too stiff springs...might need to soften them up a step er two...
