I recently purchased a 67, and would like some ideas on the suspension that would create the perfect stance for my new G-Machine.

Are you asking for a poll on what the perfect stance is? Or do you have an idea of what you consider the perfect stance to be?You should look through the sponsor links - if I was building a 67 I'd probably utilize Detroit Speed & Eng (just because they're close to me and have been helpful/responsive). I have no doubts that they could answer most if not all of your questions related to a 67 camaro (but there are other quilifed vendors with good products). Its often good to do a little research and get a couple of options in mind and then you can get confirmation or further advice based on how you intend to use the car, who's doing the work, and your budget.

A 67 what? Are we just assuming Camaro these days?:)

Its a loaded question because personal taste, wheel/tire size and places you frequently drive will dictate the stance.

I'd figure the tire and wheel sizes you desire then set the car on them to the height you like.

As far as getting the car to sit and ride at that stance will dictate brand and if an adjustable suspension is required.

Like it was mentioned before, look around the site and see if something here fits your liking.

You will have so many choices!

I have a 68 Camaro project that is still in its early stages. This is the direction I am going. I decided to keep the stock subframe, but grind it down some to smooth it out and get rid of the weld slag from the factory. Added global west upper and lower control arms. Also ordered a set of AFX tall spindles. For the rear I had a set of Detroit Speed tubs installed so I can run a wider tire. I ordered the Quadra Link from Detroit Speed and also the 9" rear end with the Quadra Link brackets already welded on. They also shortened the width on the 9' rear end so the rims will have a nice deep lip. To tie it all together I had a set of subframe connectors from DSE also welded in.

Next on my list are a set of QA1 coil overs and a set of Willwood brakes. I have not decided on the rim/tire combo yet. Got some ideas, just so much to choose from. Most likely Budnik.

Like I stated above you have so many choices you head is going to explode! Set a budget and do a little research. Then go over your budget when you start looking at all the different Camaro's on this website. It becomes addicting!

I am leaning towards installing 18" all around the car.
