I used the TRW (aka Michigan Brake) composite spring last year, the ride height is not correct and although I don't have the pogo stick you described it still is way too bouncy.

I wish I had used the VBP spring.

I put on the VBP 330 lb mono spring last spring. Diden't have any of the problems you describe. The spring shoulden't affect the wheel camber. If you have had the car jacked up yes the wheels will tilt in but should come back into alighment after you drive a few yards. As with everyone else I used the longer spring bolts. Actually my problen was the rear was too low and I was able to get it up with the new spring. Have you checked your shocks, choppy ride could be caused by bad shocks. If you have reasently replaced your spring then putting on a new mono spring will be a breaze. If your wheels are off camber I would be worried about your strut rods and bushings. If your car is uneven it is usally caused by adjustment of the nuts on your spring bolts.

Thanks Glenn
