I'm wanting to upgrade to a coil over setup, but not sure which route to take. The car will be 75% street performance, with a few autocross days here and there.
My other fun car is a Porsche Carrera S, so I know what performance driving feels like (Yes Yes, I know the Chevelle is not going to drive like the Porsche) just looking for input from those with experience with the coil over setups mentioned below.
I'm Looking at (open to others, but these seem to be of high quality)
-QA-1,
-Detroit Speed
-UMI.
I like Detroit speed because of the swivel-link design and the rear sway bar attaches to frame and axel rather than to the lower trailing arms. the cost is higher because the name and JRI shocks that they use
What are you guys running... I want a really good handling car but still comfortable to take trips etc..
I have the speedtech coilover setup in my car now, Its a nice kit in the front. The rear is alright, Im not a total fan of single sheer shock mounting but it works. Its personal preference. Ridetech makes a nice kit, just a little more bulky.

How who you rate the ride quality? Is your car a cruiser or street performance?

haven't drove it yet with this new setup, Cars been a protour deal, converted to x275 style drag racing and now its going back to protour. Spring rates are similar to what I ran before and rode nice. Its sporty, but handled great. With double adjustable shocks you can control the ride quality a ton!
What do you mean by bulky, the clearances or someting else?

Here at UMI we tend to run Viking coilovers and have extensive experience with such.
