Which rear suspension setup did you go with and why?

I installed a T56 Mag close ratio with 3:73's in my '69 Camaro and it wasn't too tough and without a doubt the most enjoyable mod on the car in the 28 years I've owned it.

All the floor pan stampings appear to vary or sag over time so the amount of fitment varies. I installed a removable plate on the tunnel so I could access the shifter which also allowed me to crown the plate to gain tunnel clearance. If you ever have any shifter issues you won't regret investing the time in fabbing the access plate vs pulling the trans.

I'm using a Quicktime bellhousing and the firewall required a fair amount of massaging around the top for clearance and bolt access. Again, I imagine this varies a lot from stamping to stamping.

A coil over set up will aide greatly in setting pinion angle as the over-driven trans makes pinion angle critical to eliminate driveline vibration.....or minimize it depending on ride height.

Take a look at the Speedtech Extreme subframe and torque arm setup or a complete chassis. When it's all said and done with a Camaro a full chassis isn't that much more now and really helps eliminate flex.
