i cant tell you as far as ride goes because i have yet to drive my dse front and rear equiped 67 camaro. I did see the RS setup and man i wouldnt hesitate to place that under my 67 camaro either. If i was you i would go DSE because of cost.
If cost is at all a concern, I would say the DSE Quadralink is the right choice for you. If you want to spend a little more money and be different, I would recommend the Roadster Shop's setup.
I have all of DSE's suspension under my car with remote canister shocks and have logged 11-12k miles on the car. With street friendly shock settings, the car rides as nice as a new 'Vette or G35 (I'm only using those as reference because I've gotten some miles on those cars). I'm afraid to disagree with Mr. Weld, but I actually think my '69 as I think it has a smoother ride than new Corvette.
Just my opinion, but if you're looking for the best ride possible out of the DSE suspension, the double adjustable shocks make a difference. A lot of people tend to buy the non adjustable ones because they don't think they're going to be racing, however I think they provide a noticeable benefit on the street as well. (yes, I've tried out both sets of shocks on my car).
I now daily drive a C6 corvette with base suspension and I agree with Matt, the Camaro is very comparable. Shocks settings and realistic spring rate are the key to a good ride. The independent suspension certainly has some advantages in performance.
My Chevelle has had both a solid rear axle and an IRS and to me there is a huge difference in ride quality. The car had double adjustable shocks in both configurations and I will admit it was sprung a little on the stiff side to get it to work right on the track with the solid axle set up. The IRS on the other hand is sprung very soft, yet handles better with less body roll and a way better ride. I'll agree that if you want to do more of a bolt in type rear suspension the DSE QuadraLink is awesome, but if you can spend the money you will not be disappointed in the RS/IRS chassis.
