      69 camaro suspension upgrades

      OK, so i currently have a 69 camaro with an LT1 and T-56.
      The suspension has been upgraded to this so far:
      KYB gas-a-just shocks
      Polyueathane bushing (whole car)
      11 inch discs all four corners
      Hotchkis 2 inch drop coils
      Z-28 reproduction leaf springs.
      big sway bars front and rear
      Sub frame connectors
      245/45/R17s all four corners

      so its not a boad start
      im wondering about after market ideass for the front and rear suspension. Id like to amke the car a true G-machine, but as budget oriented as possible.

      so im thinking a four link out back and maybe some tubular control arms up front?

      or maybe an after market front subframe?

      what do you guys think?
      what parts or components would recommend or use on your own rides?
      all ideas welcome!

      If the car were mine, I'd:
      get adjustable shocks like Varishocks or QA1's.
      Ditch the poly bushings and get Global West delrin bushings, solid subframe bushings.
      13" discs up front, 12" rear
      Hotchkis DSE or Global West rear springs.
      Wider tires, tire TYPE is important too!
      Tubular upper A arms and do the Guldstrand mod.
      Bumpsteer the car
      ATS or SC&C steering box
      Mini-tub the car

      I'd keep the stock subframe and leafs to save money.
      Invest in taking a driving school.
      last thing I'd do is re-work the engine for more power.

      I like David's plan. A 4 link is killer, but is about $1500 more then a good set of leafs. And you did say "budget"
