I'm all for better handling and all, but at my age I'm building my 81 for daily driver street use and longer road trips and don't want to end up with a buckboard or race-car ride, either.
And - the VBP site doesn't specify if their dual mount system for an 81 also works with their 6 link. That 6 link would be a priority for me over a dual mount if push came to shove.
Just looking at it in comparison to the standard mounting system, it would seem that with less spring length to work with it the spring would have less opportunity / length to flex, or have to flex more within the shorter length to equal the ride of a standard mount system.
Make any sense? :confused2:
Along the same vein, I really like what I read about front mono-leaf setups, but (1) don't want to lower the car any - I know it says it's adjustable, but the write-ups also say it lowers the car 1", and (2) I have the same question concerning ride quality -
Thanks!!
