Cool

I also have a 68 Camaro and I've been working on for some time now. One of the reasons it is taking me so long is that funding has been slow and I'm trying not to sacrifice quality just to speed up the project.

Having said that, I decided to go with the DSE Quadralink for the rear because I could buy just the kit portion now and purchase coilovers later. I know that there are various opinions on their ultimate functionality but, like you, most of the time the car will be on the street so pure race function wasn't an issue with me. I picked up a 9" posi from a 68 Bronco cheap and I'm redrilling the axles to accept GM bolt pattern.

For the front, I'm leaning toward the DSE upper/lower package. I'll probably go with QA1 adjustable coilovers on all four corners because, again, it'll save a few $$$ and they are pretty good for street use. I'm also using the taller Heidt dropped spindles to improved camber curve. I've also installed a UniSteer rack-n-pinion setup.

My ultimate goal is to have modern car handling with a polite street ride. It's all about compromise. If I had an unlimited budget, I might have made some different decisions but, for this project, I think I've got a pretty good combination going.
