Hi guys I'm pretty new to this forum. I just recently bought a 72 RS Camaro that is in need off a complete restoration. I'm wanting to do the pro touring setup on it. I'm trying to find out what company offers the best suspension systems. I would love for this car to handle like my C5z does but without the IRS. I have checked out a few companies just don't know which one is the better one. I'd appreciate it if you guys pointed me in the right direction. Thanks guys.

As with every post that starts with "what's the best option for X". . .we need to know budget and intended use.

12,000 max for both front and rear. I will be doing some auto x and a lot of street racing.

what company offers the best suspension systems

there is no one BEST suspension if there was there wouldn't be any need for any other company, I have used suspension from great companies like Global west, DSE, CPP, Hotchkis Helwig and Ridetech, the question is what do you want it to look like and perform like? if you want to do it quick and dirty, you could use DSE, global West, Hotchkis they all have leaf spring kits, if you want a suspension that is more capable you should look into a coil over system, now you look at RideTech, speed tech, DSE, BMR and others, at this point you have to ask yourself what your skill level for the install that might help determine the company you go with

thats a good budget heres a simple direction

1970-1981 Chevy Camaro - CoilOver System - Level 3 (http://www.ridetech.com/store/1970-1981-chevy-camaro-coilover-system-level-3.html) thats complete front and rear with the trick triple adjust coil over shocks for just $5500 bucks
that leaves a good chunk left for cool rims and nice brakes

Ya that looks like a nice setup, but I'm kinda wanting to get rid of the stock subframe while doing the suspension.
