1969 Camaro Ridetech StreetGrip feedback
Are there any 1969 Camaro owners in here that could give me some feedback on the ridetech Streetgrip package installed from a ride/handling/stance perspective. I have read everything I can find and seen the pics of the 69 on ridetech's site but I have found very few posts on ride/handling quality after installation. I might do Upper/Lower control arms at some point to fix the front-end geometry.
Thanks,

my advice is fix the geometry first, stiffer springs and shocks properly valved to control the stiffer springs to avoid wheel hop.

The progressive rate springs ride nice and the tall balljoints improve the geometry.

Multi leaf springs are progressive, progressive coil springs may coil bind the softer section even before driving down the road, something to look out for.

I have the streetgrip, but my factory was stuff was all in good shape, so the improvement was minimal. The handling did improve quite a bit, and I am still messing with shock settings to find the right balance in ride quality. All in all, decent price, easy install. For the money, I would recommend it unless you are going full blown autocross, etc...
