I think the most ILL handling worse riding Vette I ever drove had one of these Vette Brakes suspension systems installed into it......SORRY! I know that's pretty rank of me to say but, I'm pretty good at getting the C2/3 Vette chassis to work. The Front transverse leaf spring set-up really doesn't work too well in my opinion. The rear IRS is where the handling challenges of the C2/3 Vette chassis lies, I have a old Greenwood/Bob Riley 5 bar conversion set-up, I may make a few copies of this suspension before I put it into my 72 LT-1 Vette. The Greenwood 5 bar solves the severe toe change characteristics of the C2/3 chassis which will cure it of its "exciting transitional handling" characteristics when the suspension is lowered. Look at Brian Hobaughs or Danny Popps Vettes they utilize a refined C2/3 suspension system, never have I witnessed a Vette Brakes suspension system to be markedly superior in performance to a worked out OEM GM chassis, they add unneeded complexity and parts to the equation.
