VBP front adjustable spring 2 questions
Hi,
I am installing the VBP adjustable front spring on my 1992. I know from reading some prior threads that you may have to sand the spring to clear the stock sway bar mount.
I was wondering if anyone knows if the spring (rubber mounts) are off-set to move the spring towards the front or rear of car? I ask because the spring hits the sway-bar mount. Its not even close to fitting.
Also the adjuster I got with the spring seems to be too short. The pad on the adjuster looks like a umbrella. The photos (of the adjusters) I have seen on this forum look different than what I have.
As always I greatly appreciate the help!!
Steven

Contact tech services. My spring fit just fine on my 88, , and although close, it did clear the sway bar. They hav three different length adjusters. Call them and they will suppy the correct length at no charge.

Very similar to the C5 adjusters. Allen bolt screws into the spring from the bottom, big hard rubber pad rests on the lower control arm. I used the longest ones they had and still have them run down all they way, but I had considerably lightened the car.
