i am looking at replacing the front suspension (ON A BUDGET, i know how you guys are) and trying to get the best bang for the buck while achieving the ride height/handling I am looking for. This will be mostly street driven car. I was looking at the DSE Speed 2 or 3 kit, but for the price I could get the chicane coilover setup with speedtech upper/lowers and a lee box for the price of the speed 2 kit just about. Anyone have any opinions or used this setup, or other potential setups that would work. Looking for a 3” or so total drop and not opposed to using drop spindles as well as the front wheels will be your smaller standard size rim (7-8”)....and anything to handle better than stock, not looking to out corner an exotic car.

I just recently updated the suspension on the front of my 69 camaro and went with DSE upper and lower control arm with QA1 coilovers and DSE steering box.
I am having a lot of fun with it right now, it is a real good handling street car which is what i wanted. In my opionion you can not go wrong with the DSE stuff very high quality.

I prefer the chicane over the DSE coilover conversion because the DSE requires you to bust the balljoint to adjust the coilover. Add the AFX spindles and you can save a bunch of money using stock Corvette brakes while getting great suspension geometry.
