Hey nice looking El Camino can't wait to see it done. I am doing almost the exact same thing to an 83 Malibu Wagon. I have purchased an Air Ride Tech kit and the exact same brake system from Baer along with Hotchkis trailing arms and front and rear sway bars. I would also like to run 18" on my car once I get the suspension done, have you picked out rims yet and if so what kind are you going to run. I think I might put 18 x8 on the rear and possibly 17 x 8 on the front. I hope to run the Foose Nitrous Silvers. Do you know what backspace you will need once you get to that part of the project.....Thanks, Jim

These is the company i will purchase my wheels from. They make every rim the have in stock with custom size. Yes they maybe alittle pricey. But well worth it. There design sizes are from 15"-22" rims. With custom bolt patterns and if you want roll lip or step lip. custom back spacing. These guys are great but with out Foose or Boyd rims prices. I was quoted for 18x8 rim with GM bolt pattern Step Lip and 4 1/2 Back Spacing. About $1,800 plus shipping. It may sound alot for some but well worth it. Call them up and also i place a link for you to see the there rims on any cars. This is great link. Good Luck, You can contact me if you need help with anything.
