has anyone dealt with van steel or vette brakes products both offer a performance suspension kit with front & rear mono-spring, tubular a-arms, sway bars, etc.just wondering which one might be better. it looks like to me that van steel is more heavy performance oriented.any input would be appreciated |toungecool|

Vette(s): 1979 Black on Black, heavily modified. 1975 Orange, bone stock (for now).
I've dealt with both of them, they use the same stuff. I've just received my carbonfibre half shafts from Van Steel, great people to do business with! |cheers|

Vette(s): 1972 Coupe Anything, but Stock and more mods to come! SSBC Force 10 Brakes, 3.73, TH350, 355 CID, Rack and Pinion, Vette Brakes suspension front and rear.
Both are fantastic company's to deal with. After talking with the owner of Van Steel I found out they provide all of the Corvette Resellers with their Offset T Arms. Van Steel also has the rights to use all of GM original tooling so everything is made to exact specs.
