So the suspension on my 1967 Camaro is definitely in poor shape. Whenever I go over speed bumps or little uneven parts of the road, the whole car bounces up and down and shakes and squeaks. I basically want a whole new suspension that acts like one you would get in a new car today. What company should I go with? Anyone got any links to a full suspension kit? What parts do I need to order? Thanks for any help anyone can throw out there:thumbsup:.

Not being a smart-@ss but what are your goals for the car (road race, drag race, daily driver, multi-purpose etc...) and how deep is your wallet....
You can spend a couple 2-3 grand (or more) and have new-car performance if you want. Just depends on what you expect the car to do. Are you planning on doing the work yourself or paying someone to do it for you?

i put all oem replacement grade Moog parts in the front of my Nova- bushings, tie rods, balljoints- along with a set of chopped Moog 6041 (or was it 6014? do a search) springs and cheap $15 gas shocks from NAPA with the "Guldstrand Mod" on the upper control arm mounts and it felt as good as any new car i've ever driven. that thing just turned wherever i pointed it and stayed straight and stable over irregularities in the road.
that, along with the solid body mounts and the C4 Corvette 12" front brakes and 400 or so ponies under the hood backed by a 4 speed and 3.70 gears made for a very fun car to drive.

Sounds good to me. The pockets aren't too deep, but if something needs to get done right, then I have to do what I have to do. I don't need the car to ride like a brand new Mercedes or anything, but a nice "new car" feel would be pretty good. What parts do I need to order and in what quantity? If someone could please just itemize a list like 4 control arms, etc... then that would be appreciated. Sorry, a little new to redoing an entire suspension ;).
