SC&C or Ridetech

[69cam1219]

Well for a good while Ive seen checking out PT.com about every other day and decided to finally create an account. Its getting cold and got quite a bit of money saved up now. So its getting time to pull the trigger on purchasing new suspension products because everything under my 69 camaro is worn out. Would really like to install DSE stuff all the way around but I really cant put that much into the car. I need to save as much as possible but really dont want to just throw cheap stuff under the car. Do it right the first time.......The car is mostly going to be a driver. I drive it 2 to 3 times a week atm. I live in middle Tn and would like to attend any road race/ autocross events in the area and def would like to attend the run to music city and RTTH this year. Well after looking I think going with a SC&C set up or a ridetech set up. I really dont know alot about suspensions but would really like some people that know their stuff to give me their insight of which I should go with. With both set ups i will go with subframe connectors, solid bushings, mini tubs, narrowed 12 bolt, c5/c5 brakes......Heres the 2 set ups Im decideing between.

ridetech
LCA $600
UCA $400
Single Adjust coilover (front) $700
Musclebar front $500
Ridetech tall spindle $350
Tru Turn upgrade $600
AirBar $1300
Single adjust coilover (back) $650
MuscleBar (back) $500
Total = $ 5650
Total (if went with the glink instead of the airbar....read in a previous thread the glink in a better version of the airbar) = $6574

SC&C
Street comp AFX (tall spindle w/ upper control arm) $1489
LCA $548
Eibach Springs $200
Varishocks $378
Hellwig front tubular sway bar 1 1/8" 169.90
Glink w/ mini tub and includes single adjust coilover $2224
Add sway bar to glink $459
Total 5467.90




The figures are not exact I just went with the prices that are on their websites.
I might be forgetting something. If so please add in what I might be forgetting but if i went with the SC&C set up i still need to buy all the steering linkage, tie rods, etc because mine is loose and in need of replacing while Im at it. If I went with ridetech the tru turn would cover that. But I do like how the SPC arms are adjustable for helping with alignment. With the tru turn I can also probly run a 9.5 wheels and I think i remember reading a 265 tire. Any other pros or cons of either? Like I said Im very novice in the suspension area so any info will help. Is one set up going to give the first gen a better geometry than the other? With the ridetech am I just paying to run a bigger tire up front and thats it? I keep reading both products are great and everyone is very helpful just trying to see which is best for me.
