Default Speedtech questions

Ok, so I did a search and read around. I'm just now looking at the speedtech parts. Previously I'd been researching the coilover conversion from DSE and rear quadra-link.

Questions on speedtech.
Front suspension - Has anyone installed this and have good feedback on the setup? I'm looking for something that will be ok for the occasional flogging on a road course but for the most part it will be used for cruising the streets. I already have C5 front brakes waiting on whatever I decide. I want to run the ATS spindle as well. Since the sub has the gulstrand mod built in, I assume I would run the stock "short" style spindle. What kind of height adjustment is available with this subframe. Also I'm not wanting the QA-1 coilover setup they offer with it, can I replace the QA-1 stuff with the koni coil over that is available and same spring or spring with same characteristics as the one supplied with the kit?

Rear suspension - I happen to be a fan of the torque arm setup in my 99 SS. The torque arm setup looks good too but same story. I havn't seen too many people with this (realize it's new) but would like to see installation pics and hear how people are liking this setup. I feel the torque arm setup will allow for less potential to bind as opposed to the 4 link. I would also like to know if this torque arm setup reduces ground clearance with how it mounts to the rearend. Want to make sure I dont have something hanging down really low. Same story back there with the koni coil overs over the QA-1.

I'm not trying to start anything as far as the DSE vs. Speedtech just wanting honest opinions. I have heard nothing but good things about the DSE stuff and may still go the coilover conversion route and quadralink but want to see what options I have so doing a little more research.
