Have been running VP Pro clutch shoes and springs for over a year and they are great. The shoes are not the hardest on the market, but they wear very well. Like Rocket42 said, they are lightweight and grab nicely. I don't know about USA prices, but here they are the best value alloy shoe (and spring set) on the market. Their tyres are great as well.
Rocket42 - I will try the 0.9 springs next meeting. I always thought that they would make the clutch too early and bog out of the corners, but I guess the 5 Port has the bottom end to make up for this.
