Is 4 link mini tubbing and rear coilovers worth the money on a 69 camaro?
Is 4 link mini tubbing and rear coilovers worth the money on a 69 camaro? I am curious because it is a big investment and something that might not be needed. I got, some rear qa1's and was curious if these are a worthy alternative. I just have a cruiser thats a pro touring type car. I kinda want to hear from people that have pulled the trigger on this upgrade on a 69 camaro.
I tell you that I hear way more "Damn, I should have mini tubbed it" than "damn, I should have not mini tubbed it".
Vince, what kind of ride does coil overs provide, and what about the dse kit? it looks lie it does something similar in terms of giving the desired stance and look.

i would say it all comes down to budget and use. you said a cruiser so i would go with a 4 link because of the adjustability as badazz81z28 said. you can adjust your height and damping of the shocks for a good ride. for the mini tub i would say if the budget allows it. it could also be good for resale down the road. or if you just have to have the biggest tires on it for looks

It really depends on how you want to use your car.
The extreme lowered look is really great, until you need to take your car up a driveway or through a parking lot with speed bumps. For my part, I prefer a drivable car as compared to a car that looks great in a static picture against a beautiful skyline or on a nicely paved race track. The real world is pretty cruel to lowered cars.
To be clear, if I could mini-tub the car I would, but the extreme lowering gets you out of the real world driving.
IMHO, unless you're capable of driving a race car at 9/10ths on a track, there's no need for anything too exotic in the rear suspension of a first gen f-body.

Vince, Can you tell me what wheels are on the white Camaro. Perhaps a close up view of the wheels too ? Car looks fantastic ! All three cars look really sharp actually but that white one looks mean.
