TCI has a new setup involving a 4-link rear suspension and a Coilover IFS for the front. They have an ad for it in the July edition of Super Chevy (page 67). They don't have it in their website yet, and I am doubting anyone has put one on a car yet, but I am curious if anyone is familiar with the quality of their product. It seems as if they cater to the street rod crowd, but they do have some products for the 62-67 Nova.

Their 4-link rear suspension is supposedly a true bolt in with no cutting. I find this very tempting as my car is a number matching ride with the protectoplate and original drive train. (a 275hp/327 w/ powerglide isn't awe inspiring, but still worth keeping) I want to build up my car up, but there may be a time down the road when I want to put it back to original, and this would probably make it easier.

What do you guys think? TCI worth their salt?

I don't know TCI - but any "bolt-in" 4 link for a 1 gen Camaro is going to have massive binding problems. The lower control arms need to be ~40" long to get the geometry right in those cars... that long of a LCA interfears with the driver's seat mounting.
I would get the GW rear springs with the sphecial bearing installed... they will work better and cost less than $1000/set
