Critique wanted on suspension package for 69 Camaro BBC

[1969CamaroRS]

Hello,

I have been trying to figure out a suspension setup for my 69 Camaro that I am swapping in a BBC 489 into.

So far I have settled on this, but am certainly willing to listen to feedback:
Koni classic shocks front/rear
Moog front Springs (#5536 - 550lbs/rate, going to cut them as per David Pozzi's site)
Eaton Detroit multi-leaf rear springs (175lbs/rate)
Global West Rear Shackle kit with Del-A-Lum bushings (#108SH)
Hotchkis front and rear sway bars (#2207)
Hotchkis sub-frame connectors (#4007, still trying to figure out what body bushings)
Global West Upper Control Arms with Del-A-Lum bushings (#CTA-79A)
Global West Lower Lower Control Arms with Del-A-Lum bushings (#CTA-79L)
Baer Trackers
ATS AFX Tall Spindle
C5 Front Disc brake kit to go with the AFX Spindles and that will work with the stock 15x7 rally wheels (plan to go to a 17" wheels/tires just no budget for it right now).
Lee 670 Steering box (not exactly sure what ratio to go with)

I know there isn't much benefit on the lower arms but I am hoping it will help tighten up the handling a bit with the A-Lum bushings and stronger lower arms as well as giving me a bit more height control with the adjustable spring pocket.


What I want the car to do:
I am fine with a firm (not harsh ride). I certainly want to get rid of as much bump steer as I can. The car will be a driver, but I do want it to handle well as I think that is where much of the fun is. Any track usage the car would see would be very limited (2-3 times a year).


What I am still up in the air about is whether to use:
1. Body Bushings:
Global West Solid body bushings
or
Energy Suspension Poly body bushings
2. What steering box ratio to go with.


Also anyone know of any problems using the Hotchkis Sway bars with the Global West A-Arms? Or the GW body solid bushing kit with Hotchkis sub-frame connectors?

Any feedback/suggestions/comments are certainly appreciated. I am ready to pull the trigger and get most of this stuff (have the shocks, Coil springs, sway bars and rear leaf springs already).

Looks great.

2 things- Global West solid body bushings are the way to go, and ditch the rear sway bar- you won't need it.

I second the solid body bushings! Why waste your time with poly when you're adding all these other suspension goodies? Plus you'll want the solids if you are planning on welding in the SFCs. A must!

Thanks for all the great ideas

Quick update:

I ended up going with the AFX Spindles and the GW uppers and lowers with QA1 double adjustable coil overs for a BB. Also went with the Baer trackers. Also got a 12.7:1 ATS Lee steering box and C5 front brake kit as well. Went with the solid body mounts from GW and the Shackle kit.


Now since my motor produces sub-par vacuum I have been looking at a Hydro-boost system since I figure by the time I get a Power Booster, and either vacuum canister and/or a vacuum pump and am pretty close to the cost of a Hydro-boost system anyways (~400.00 vs ~$700.00).

I want to thank Tyler from ATS for answering so many of my questions on a couple of occasions and just being very helpful in general.
