Default C5 front suspension...Coilover choices?

I'm getting ready to fit the WD C5 subframe to the car (69 Camaro), and need to make a decision on the coilovers, for the front.

The car has a DSE Quadralink setup installed out back.

Any recommendations on coliover brands and types / options?

I'm looking at Koni, QA1, and Strange so far. Since the DSE Qlink has Koni's, I'm tempted to go that route and have Koni's all-round but, I don't want to ignore the offerings from the others, either...especially since the fronts will have the most influence on the handling characteristics...

I am thinking in the range of 475-500 Lb/in springs, since the engine is an iron block, and the weight of the turbos, etc... there is a lot of weight up front... -Rob
