Merry Christmas one and all
What is the best suspension package for handling the twisties(bends).
Would like to go with a full kit rather than mix and match.
Thank you.

There are 2 main vendors I would reccomend. VanSteel and VBP Vette Brake and Products. Both are excellent I used VanSteel for my suspension rebuild.
Call VanSteel and discuss you're needs and wants and they will reccomend or even put a custom system together for you. Absolute top notch service before and after the sale, I have the performance plus pkg. with some slight changes and it looks great. By spring I should be ready to ride.

Ditto on Van Steel!! You can't go wrong. Good products, friendly, helpful people and they actually try to do the right thing with prices.

Absolutely go with a complete "kit", regardless of where you buy it. Mix/match systems rarely work out right.
VanSteel and VBP are both top-notch vendors.
You can do a
search on this subject, and will find several threads on this from the past, along with member's good/bad reviews.

Another recommendation for either VBP or Van Steel. I got my kit from VBP and it was just what I had hoped for, a huge improvement over stock. Haven't used Van Steel yet, but I've heard a lot of good things about them.
