Suspension Decision Time

[67Rally]

I'm going to be doing new front and rear suspension in the next few weeks and I've been going back and forth between a few options. Right now everything is stock, worn and squeaking. This will be a hard driven street machine. I'd like the option to do an autocross in the future, but I'm not really sure it will ever see the track. I'm looking to lower the car, and really improve performance in the twists and turns. I don't know that I'll spend a lot of time adjusting the suspension if/once it's where I like it.

I really like the Speed Tech upper and lower control arms for their price and reputation. My options with this setup are 1) package them with the QA1 adjustable coilovers, 2) package them with the RideTech adjustable coilovers or 3) package them with the Hotchkis 2" lowering springs and matched Bilstein shocks.

For the rear, I was originally going to go with the Hotchkis 1 1/2" lowering leafs and the matched Bilsteins as well. I don't want to go 4 link and dump a couple of grand into the rear. What are my other options?

I have talked with a couple of the vendors, and have a good idea where I'll get my parts, but really looking for real world experience with any of these setups.

Other info: 1967 Camaro, 350 sbc, 4 speed. I already have a new 670 Delphi box and all new steering linkage, new 18" wheels and tires, new Hotchkis front sway bar, and new Hotchkis tie rod sleeves. And I will also be ordering a big brake kit, most likely the 12" Wilwood front and rear, or possibly 13" up front with the 12's in the rear.

(I'm posting this here and two other sites to see if there is a big difference of opions. Any and all opinions are welcome!)
